Haloperidol 1.5mg / 5mg Tablet belongs to a group of medicines known as antipsychotics. It is commonly prescribed for the treatment of psychiatric conditions such as schizophrenia, acute psychosis, severe behavioral disorders, and Tourette’s syndrome.
Haloperidol works by blocking the action of dopamine, a chemical messenger in the brain that affects mood, behavior, and thinking. By regulating dopamine activity, it helps reduce symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions, agitation, aggressive behavior, and disturbed thinking patterns.
This medicine may also be used in certain cases to control severe nausea, vomiting, or uncontrollable movements associated with neurological disorders. The dosage and duration of treatment are determined by a healthcare professional depending on the patient’s condition and response to therapy.
Patients should take this medicine exactly as prescribed and should not stop taking it suddenly without consulting their doctor.
Common side effects may include drowsiness, dizziness, restlessness, muscle stiffness, tremors, and dry mouth. If severe side effects or unusual symptoms occur, medical advice should be sought immediately.
