Warnings

For adults with psychosis or Tourette's syndrome, the usual starting dose of oral (taken by mouth) haloperidol ranges from 2 mg to 6 mg per day in 1 to 2 divided doses. Your doctor may gradually increase the dose to determine the most appropriate dose for you. Dosing depends on your age and needs and how well you tolerate the medication.

Seniors may require a lower starting dose, usually 0.25 mg to 0.5 mg taken 2 or 3 times a day.

For children 6 to 12 years old, the usual starting dose of oral haloperidol ranges from 0.25 mg to 0.5 mg taken 2 to 3 times a day. The doctor may recommend gradually increasing the dose and will determine the most appropriate dose. Dosing depends on how well the medication works for the child and how well it is tolerated. Haloperidol tablets should be taken with food or milk to avoid stomach upset.

Intramuscular injections of haloperidol can also be given to people with an acute psychotic attack or who are agitated or aggressive. For the ongoing treatment of psychiatric disorders, long-acting haloperidol injections are used to help decrease the number of pills some people have to take. The starting dose of the injection depends on the dose of oral haloperidol the person was previously taking. The long-acting injection is given intramuscularly (into a muscle), usually by a doctor or nurse, every 4 weeks. For some people who start using the long-acting injection, they may be taking both the oral and injection forms of haloperidol at the same time.

Many things can affect the dose of a medication that a person needs, such as body weight, other medical conditions, and other medications. If your doctor has recommended a dose different from the ones listed here, do not change the way that you are using the medication without consulting your doctor.

It is important that Pms Haloperidol be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not stop using the medication because you feel better. If you miss a dose, administer it as soon as possible and continue with your regular schedule. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not administer a double dose to make up for a missed one. If you are not sure what to do after missing a dose, contact your doctor or pharmacist for advice.

Store Pms Haloperidol at room temperature, protect from light and moisture, and keep it out of the reach of children.

Do not dispose of medications in wastewater (e.g. down the sink or in the toilet) or in household garbage. Ask your pharmacist how to dispose of medications that are no longer needed or have expired.
