ALERT: US Boxed Warning
Increased mortality in elderly patients with dementia-related psychosis:

Elderly patients with dementia-related psychosis treated with antipsychotic drugs are at an increased risk of death. Analyses of 17 placebo-controlled trials (modal duration, 10 weeks), largely in patients taking atypical antipsychotic drugs, revealed a risk of death in drug-treated patients of between 1.6 to 1.7 times the risk of death in placebo-treated patients. Over the course of a typical 10-week controlled trial, the rate of death in drug-treated patients was approximately 4.5%, compared with a rate of approximately 2.6% in the placebo group. Although the causes of death were varied, most of the deaths appeared to be cardiovascular (eg, heart failure, sudden death) or infectious (eg, pneumonia) in nature. Observational studies suggest that, similar to atypical antipsychotic drugs, treatment with conventional antipsychotic drugs may increase mortality. The extent to which the findings of increased mortality in observational studies may be attributed to the antipsychotic drug as opposed to some characteristic(s) of the patients is not clear. Haloperidol is not approved for the treatment of patients with dementia-related psychosis.

Brand Names: US
  • Haldol Decanoate;
  • Haldol [DSC]
Brand Names: Canada
  • APO-Haloperidol [DSC];
  • TEVA-Haloperidol
Pharmacologic Category
  • First Generation (Typical) Antipsychotic
Dosing: Adult

Dosage guidance:

Safety: IV administration is associated with dose-dependent QT prolongation at doses >2 mg and the risk of rare, but potentially fatal, cardiac arrhythmia; increased monitoring is necessary prior to and during administration (Ref).

Dosing: All doses are expressed as the equivalent amounts of haloperidol base. Although manufacturer's labeling includes a maximum dose of up to 100 mg/day, doses >30 mg/day are in general not recommended (Ref).

Clinical considerations: Concomitant IM or IV antiparkinsonism medications (eg, benztropine, diphenhydramine) may be useful for preventing acute dystonic reactions to short-acting IM/IV haloperidol (Ref).

Agitation/Aggression associated with psychiatric disorders, substance intoxication, or other organic causes

Agitation/Aggression (severe, acute) associated with psychiatric disorders (eg, schizophrenia), substance intoxication, or other organic causes (off-label use): Note: Antipsychotics are appropriate when psychosis is suspected to be the primary cause of agitation/aggression (Ref). Avoid in suspected or confirmed intoxications with anticholinergic substances; other agents are used preferentially in some intoxications (eg, stimulants) or alcohol withdrawal. Depending on presentation, may combine with a benzodiazepine (Ref).

IM, IV (off-label route) (lactate injection): 2 to 10 mg; repeat dose every ≥15 minutes until acute symptoms are controlled; once acute symptoms are controlled, may repeat every 0.5 to 6 hours as needed; up to 30 mg/day (Ref).

Oral: 2 to 10 mg; repeat dose every 6 hours as needed; up to 30 mg/day. A lower initial dose of 0.5 to 1 mg may be sufficient for some patients (Ref).

Bipolar disorder

Bipolar disorder:

Acute mania, episodes with mixed features and acute hypomania (either as monotherapy or as adjunctive therapy) (off-label use): Note: Haloperidol may worsen depressive symptoms. It is not recommended for the treatment of acute bipolar major depression or for maintenance in bipolar disorder (Ref).

Oral: Initial: 2 to 15 mg/day or 0.2 mg/kg/day (up to 15 mg/day), in 1 or 2 divided doses. May increase dose based on response and tolerability in increments of ≤5 mg as frequently as every 2 days up to 30 mg/day (Ref).

Chemotherapy-induced breakthrough nausea and vomiting

Chemotherapy-induced breakthrough nausea and vomiting (alternative therapy) (off-label use): Note: May be used as an adjunct to standard antiemetic regimens for breakthrough nausea/vomiting (Ref).

Oral, IV (off-label route) (lactate injection): 0.5 to 1 mg every 6 hours as needed (Ref).

Delirium, hyperactive

Delirium, hyperactive (treatment): Note: Nonpharmacologic interventions and treatment of underlying conditions are initial steps to prevent and manage delirium. Antipsychotics may be used as short-term adjunctive treatment if distressing symptoms (eg, agitation, anxiety, combative behavior) are present (Ref). Reassess daily for continued need; consider discontinuation and/or taper as symptoms resolve, especially at transitions of care to prevent unnecessary continuation of therapy (Ref).

ICU (off-label use): IV (off-label route), IM (lactate injection): Initial range: 0.5 to 20 mg depending on degree of agitation (mild: 0.5 to 2.5 mg; moderate: 2 to 5 mg; severe: 10 to 20 mg); if inadequate response, may repeat or increase bolus dose every 15 to 30 minutes until calm achieved, then administer a maintenance dose (~25% of total loading dose needed to achieve calm) every 6 to 12 hours if needed (Ref). Note: Continuous infusions have been used for refractory symptoms; regimens vary. One regimen includes an optional loading dose of 2.5 mg, followed by 0.5 to 2 mg/hour (Ref).

Non-ICU (off-label use): IM, IV (off-label route) (lactate injection), Oral: Initial: 0.5 to 1 mg; if needed, may repeat every 30 minutes until calm. Maximum 5 mg/day (Ref).

Nausea and vomiting in advanced or terminal illness

Nausea and vomiting in advanced or terminal illness (palliative care) (alternative agent) (off-label use): Note: Identify and treat potentially reversible causes; used in conjunction with other agents/treatments in bowel obstruction-associated symptoms (Ref).

IV, SubQ (off-label routes) (lactate injection), Oral: 0.5 to 2 mg every 6 to 8 hours; for nausea associated with bowel obstruction, may titrate up to 20 mg/day IV in divided doses if needed (Ref).

Continuous SubQ infusion (off-label route) (lactate injection): Typical range for initial treatment: 1 to 5 mg per 24 hours (Ref).

Postoperative nausea and vomiting, prevention, moderate- to high-risk patients

Postoperative nausea and vomiting, prevention, moderate- to high-risk patients (alternative agent) (off-label use): Note: In general, combined with one or more other prophylactic interventions.

IV (off-label route) (lactate injection): 0.5 to 2 mg as a single dose after induction of anesthesia or at the end of surgery (Ref).

Schizophrenia

Schizophrenia:

Oral, IM, IV (lactate injection; off-label route [IV]): Initial: 2 to 10 mg/day in 1 to 3 divided doses; adjust dose based on response and tolerability to a usual dose of 2 to 20 mg/day (typically ≤10 mg/day). Doses >30 mg/day are not recommended (Ref). Note: In a first psychotic episode, a lower dose (eg, 1 to 4 mg/day) may be sufficient (Ref).

IM (decanoate ER suspension): Note: Establish tolerability using oral haloperidol prior to initiating IM decanoate injection.

Regimen with overlapping of oral haloperidol:

Initial: 10 to 20 times the daily oral dose. If the initial dose conversion requires >100 mg ER injection, administer the dose in 2 injections with a maximum of 100 mg for first injection and the remainder given in 3 to 7 days. Maximum total initial dose: 450 mg.

Oral overlap: Following the first ER decanoate dose, taper the oral dose by ~25% at weekly intervals during the second or third month of decanoate treatment. Adjust oral dose and rate of tapering based on clinical response and tolerability (Ref).

Maintenance dose: Adjust dose based on response and tolerability; usual maintenance dose is 10 to 15 times the previous daily oral dose administered at 4-week intervals. Maximum dose: 450 mg every 4 weeks.

Alternative regimen without overlap of oral haloperidol: Note: Discontinue oral haloperidol immediately prior to the first injection when using this regimen.

Initial: 20 times the daily oral dose. If the initial dose conversion requires >100 mg ER injection, administer the dose in 2 injections with a maximum of 100 mg for the first injection and the remainder given in 3 to 7 days.

Maintenance dose: Reduce the ER decanoate dose during the second and third months (eg, by ~25% each month), then continue to adjust based on response and tolerability (Ref). Usual maintenance dose is 10 to 15 times the previous daily oral dose administered at 4-week intervals. Maximum dose: 450 mg every 4 weeks (Ref).

Tourette syndrome, management of tics

Tourette syndrome, management of tics (alternative agent): Oral: Initial: 1 to 2 mg/day in 1 to 3 divided doses; may increase dose based on response and tolerability in increments of 0.5 to 2 mg every 2 to 3 days up to 12 mg/day. Note: Although manufacturer's labeling includes a maximum dose of up to 100 mg/day, doses ≥12 mg/day are not recommended (Ref).

Dosing conversion:

IM (lactate injection) to oral: Use the total IM (as lactate) dose administered in the preceding 24 hours as an initial approximation of the total daily dose requirement for the oral formulation. Initiate the first oral dose within 12 to 24 hours of the last IM (as lactate) dose. Adjust dose based on response and tolerability. Note: Bioavailability of oral administration is about 60% to 70% relative to short-acting lactate injection; dose adjustment may be needed when switching from short-acting injection to oral (Ref).

Oral to IM (as decanoate): See Schizophrenia dosing.

Discontinuation of therapy:

Oral: In the treatment of chronic psychiatric disease, switching therapy rather than discontinuation is generally advised if side effects are intolerable or treatment is not effective. If patient insists on stopping treatment, gradual dose reduction (ie, over several weeks to months) is advised to detect a re-emergence of symptoms and to avoid withdrawal reactions (eg, agitation, alternating feelings of warmth and chill, anxiety, diaphoresis, dyskinesias, GI symptoms, insomnia, irritability, myalgia, paresthesia, psychosis, restlessness, rhinorrhea, tremor, vertigo) unless discontinuation is due to significant adverse effects. Monitor closely to allow for detection of prodromal symptoms of disease recurrence (Ref).

Long-acting injectable: Switching to other treatments is generally advised if side effects are intolerable or treatment is not effective. However, if a patient insists on stopping treatment, gradual dose reduction to avoid withdrawal reactions is generally not needed with long-acting injectable antipsychotics. The risk of withdrawal symptoms from discontinuation of long-acting injectables is low because the rate of drug elimination is slow. Monitor closely to allow for detection of prodromal symptoms of disease recurrence (Ref).

Switching antipsychotics: An optimal universal strategy for switching antipsychotic drugs has not been established. Strategies include cross-titration (gradually discontinuing the first antipsychotic while gradually increasing the new antipsychotic) and abrupt change (abruptly discontinuing the first antipsychotic and either increasing the new antipsychotic gradually or starting it at a treatment dose). In patients with schizophrenia at high risk of relapse, the current medication may be maintained at full dose as the new medication is increased (ie, overlap); once the new medication is at therapeutic dose, the first medication is gradually decreased and discontinued over 1 to 2 weeks (Ref). Based upon clinical experience, some experts generally prefer cross-titration and overlap approaches rather than abrupt change (Ref).

Dosage adjustment for concomitant therapy: Significant drug interactions exist, requiring dose/frequency adjustment or avoidance. Consult drug interactions database for more information.

Dosing: Kidney Impairment: Adult

The renal dosing recommendations are based upon the best available evidence and clinical expertise. Senior Editorial Team: Bruce Mueller, PharmD, FCCP, FASN, FNKF; Jason Roberts, PhD, BPharm (Hons), B App Sc, FSHP, FISAC; Michael Heung, MD, MS.

Altered kidney function: Mild to severe impairment: No dosage adjustment necessary (~1% of drug eliminated in urine) (Ref).

Hemodialysis, intermittent (thrice weekly): Unlikely to be dialyzed (large volume of distribution): No supplemental dose or dosage adjustment necessary (Ref); use with caution.

Peritoneal dialysis: Unlikely to be dialyzed (large volume of distribution): No dosage adjustment necessary (Ref); use with caution.

CRRT: Unlikely to be dialyzed (large volume of distribution): No dosage adjustment necessary (Ref).

PIRRT (eg, sustained low-efficiency diafiltration): Unlikely to be dialyzed (large volume of distribution): No dosage adjustment necessary (Ref).

Dosing: Hepatic Impairment: Adult

There are no dosage adjustments provided in the manufacturer's labeling; however, haloperidol concentrations may increase in patients with hepatic impairment because it is primarily metabolized by the liver and protein binding may decrease.

Dosing: Older Adult

Note: Avoid for behavioral problems associated with dementia or delirium unless alternative nonpharmacologic therapies have failed and patient may harm self or others. If used, consider deprescribing attempts to assess continued need and/or lowest effective dose. Of note, use in certain indications (eg, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder) may be appropriate (Ref).

Refer to adult dosing for indication-specific dosing. For hyperactive delirium or acute agitation, consider dosages in the lower initial range of recommended adult dosing (eg, 0.5 to 1 mg) and increase monitoring due to greater risks for adverse effects, including sedation and QTc prolongation (Ref). Dosages in the lower range of recommended adult dosing are generally sufficient with late-onset schizophrenia or psychosis (Ref).

Dosing: Pediatric

(For additional information see "Haloperidol: Pediatric drug information")

Dosage guidance:

Dosing: Individualize dosing based on patient response. Gradually decrease dose to the lowest effective maintenance dosage once a satisfactory therapeutic response is obtained. Dosing presented as fixed (mg) dosing and weight-based (mg/kg) dosing; use caution when prescribing and dispensing.

Acute agitation

Acute agitation: Limited data available:

Oral: Recommended for acute agitation in patients with suspected ethanol, benzodiazepine, or unknown intoxication, a known psychiatric disorder, hallucinations, or unknown etiology (Ref).

Weight-directed: Children and Adolescents: Oral: 0.025 to 0.075 mg/kg/dose; may repeat dose every 1 to 2 hours; not to exceed maximum daily dose: Patients ≤40 kg: 6 mg/day; patients >40 kg: 15 mg/day. In adults, usual total dose required is 10 to 20 mg (Ref).

Fixed dose: Oral: Children: 0.5 to 2 mg; Adolescents: 2 to 5 mg; may repeat dose every 1 to 2 hours; not to exceed maximum daily dose: Patients ≤40 kg: 6 mg/day; patients >40 kg: 15 mg/day. In adults, usual total dose required is 10 to 20 mg (Ref).

Parenteral: Recommended for acute agitation in patients with psychosis or mania, or suspected ethanol, benzodiazepine, or unknown intoxication, a known psychiatric disorder, hallucinations, or unknown etiology (Ref); if extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS) are a concern, consider concomitant diphenhydramine.

Weight-directed: Children and Adolescents: IM (lactate, immediate release): 0.025 to 0.075 mg/kg/dose; may repeat dose every 20 to 30 minutes; not to exceed maximum daily dose: Patients ≤40 kg: 6 mg/day; patients >40 kg: 15 mg/day. In adults, usual total dose required is 10 to 20 mg (Ref).

Fixed dose: Children and Adolescents: IM (lactate, immediate release): Children: 0.5 to 2 mg; Adolescents: 2 to 5 mg; may repeat dose every 20 to 30 minutes; not to exceed maximum daily dose: Patients ≤40 kg: 6 mg/day; patients >40 kg: 15 mg/day. In adults, usual total dose required is 10 to 20 mg (Ref).

Agitation

Agitation (palliative care): Limited data available: Children ≥3 years and Adolescents: Oral: 0.01 mg/kg/dose 3 times daily as needed; to manage new-onset acute episode: 0.025 to 0.05 mg/kg once then may repeat 0.025 mg/kg/dose in one hour as needed (Ref).

Behavior disorders, nonpsychotic

Behavior disorders, nonpsychotic:

Note: For treatment of bipolar disorder (acute mania, nonpsychotic), haloperidol is not considered first line; initially second-generation antipsychotics and mood stabilizers are preferred (Ref). For management of disruptive behavior disorders without psychosis, therapy typically initiated with stimulants; haloperidol (first-generation antipsychotics) is no longer routinely used as initial therapy but may be necessary in refractory or complex cases (Ref).

Children ≥3 years and Adolescents: Limited data available in ages >12 years: Oral: Initial: 0.5 mg/day in 2 to 3 divided doses; may increase total daily dose by 0.5 mg every 5 to 7 days to usual maintenance range of 0.05 to 0.075 mg/kg/day in 2 to 3 divided doses; in the management of disruptive behavior disorders, a range of 0.5 to 10 mg/day has been suggested; maximum daily dose for patients 3 to 12 years of age and ≤40 kg: 6 mg/day in divided doses (children with severe, nonpsychotic disturbance did not show improvement with doses >6 mg/day); a maximum daily dose of 15 mg/day in divided doses has been suggested in adolescents with psychosis (Ref).

Delirium, critical care setting

Delirium, critical care setting: Limited data available; optimal dose not established:

Note: Antipsychotics may be used as short-term adjunctive treatment; reassess frequently for continued need and consider taper/discontinuation as symptoms resolve (Ref). The administration of IV haloperidol is associated with QT prolongation and torsades de pointes; in adults without concomitant risk factors, this effect is dose dependent and was reported with cumulative IV doses ≥2 mg; in all patients, increased monitoring is necessary at baseline and during administration (Ref); ensure appropriate monitoring including extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS) effects.

Infants ≥3 months, Children, and Adolescents: IV (lactate, immediate release): Note: Reported experience in infants is very limited and suggests that lower doses may be required:

Loading dose: Note: Dosing is presented as a fixed dose (not a weight-based dose).

Weight 3.5 to <10 kg: IV: 0.05 mg (fixed dose) infused slowly over 30 to 45 minutes; may repeat twice for a maximum of 3 total doses (Ref).

Weight ≥10 kg: IV: 0.15 to 0.25 mg (fixed dose) infused slowly over 30 to 45 minutes; may repeat twice for a maximum of 3 total doses (Ref).

Maintenance dose: Note: Dosing is presented as weight-based dosing (ie, mg/kg/day) administered in divided doses:

Note: Use lowest effective dose, evaluate delirium symptoms daily, optimize nonpharmacologic treatments and discontinue/titrate therapy after clinical improvement and resolution (Ref):

Weight 3.5 to <10 kg: IV: Initial: 0.01 to 0.05 mg/kg/day in divided doses every 6 to 24 hours; may increase dose based on clinical response; higher doses have been associated with an increased incidence of EPS and sedation (Ref).

Weight ≥10 kg: IV: Initial: 0.05 to 0.5 mg/kg/day in divided doses every 6 to 24 hours; may increase dose based on clinical response; higher doses have been associated with an increased incidence of EPS and sedation; a maximum single pediatric dose is not defined in the literature; in adults, single doses of 10 mg are reserved for severe cases of delirium and up to 20 mg in some cases (Ref).

Psychotic disorders

Psychotic disorders: Note: Not generally used as initial therapy for management of schizophrenia in pediatric patients; second-generation (atypical) antipsychotics typically preferred first line (Ref).

Children ≥3 years and Adolescents: Limited data available in ages >12 years: Oral: Initial: 0.5 mg/day in 2 to 3 divided doses; increase total daily dose by 0.5 mg every 5 to 7 days to usual maintenance range of 0.05 to 0.15 mg/kg/day in 2 to 3 divided doses; in pediatric schizophrenia efficacy trials (reported mean ages: 9 to 16 years), a mean dose range of 8 to 10 mg/day was reported; higher doses may be necessary in severe or refractory cases; maximum dose not established in children; in adolescents, maximum daily dose: 15 mg/day (Ref).

Tourette syndrome, tic disorder

Tourette syndrome, tic disorder: Note: Compared to placebo, haloperidol is probably more likely than placebo to reduce tic severity; a higher risk of drug-induced movement disorders (compared to placebo) was observed in Tourette syndrome/tic trials with haloperidol; may be considered when treatment benefits outweigh risks (Ref).

Children ≥3 years and Adolescents: Oral: Initial: 0.25 to 0.5 mg/day in 2 to 3 divided doses; increase daily dose by 0.25 to 0.5 mg every 5 to 7 days to usual daily dose maintenance range of 1 to 4 mg/day in 2 to 3 divided doses has been reported (weight-directed maintenance per the manufacturer: 0.05 to 0.075 mg/kg/day in 2 to 3 divided doses); maximum daily dose: 15 mg/day; however, children with severe, nonpsychotic disturbance did not show improvement with doses >6 mg/day (Ref).

Discontinuation of psychosis therapy: Children and Adolescents: The manufacturer and American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (AACAP), American Psychiatric Association (APA), Canadian Psychiatric Association (CPA), National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), and World Federation of Societies of Biological Psychiatry (WFSBP) guidelines recommend gradually tapering antipsychotics to avoid withdrawal symptoms and minimize the risk of relapse (Ref); risk for withdrawal symptoms may be highest with highly anticholinergic or dopaminergic antipsychotics (Ref). When stopping antipsychotic therapy in patients with schizophrenia, the CPA guidelines recommend a gradual taper over 6 to 24 months and the APA guidelines recommend reducing the dose by 10% each month (Ref). Continuing antiparkinsonism agents for a brief period after discontinuation may prevent withdrawal symptoms (Ref). When switching antipsychotics, three strategies have been suggested: Cross-titration (gradually discontinuing the first antipsychotic while gradually increasing the new antipsychotic), overlap and taper (maintaining the dose of the first antipsychotic while gradually increasing the new antipsychotic, then tapering the first antipsychotic), and abrupt change (abruptly discontinuing the first antipsychotic and either increasing the new antipsychotic gradually or starting it at a treatment dose). Evidence supporting ideal switch strategies and taper rates is limited and results are conflicting (Ref).

Dosage adjustment for concomitant therapy: Significant drug interactions exist, requiring dose/frequency adjustment or avoidance. Consult drug interactions database for more information.

Dosing: Kidney Impairment: Pediatric

Children ≥3 years and Adolescents: There are no dosage adjustments provided in the manufacturer's labeling.

Hemodialysis/peritoneal dialysis: Supplemental dose is not necessary.

Dosing: Hepatic Impairment: Pediatric

Children ≥3 years and Adolescents: There are no dosage adjustments provided in manufacturer's labeling.

Adverse Reactions (Significant): Considerations
Extrapyramidal symptoms

Haloperidol commonly causes extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS), also known as drug-induced movement disorders, in all ages (Ref). Antipsychotics can cause 4 main EPS: Acute dystonia, drug-induced parkinsonism, akathisia, and tardive dyskinesia (Ref). EPS presenting as dysphagia, esophageal dysmotility, or pulmonary aspiration, have also been reported with antipsychotics, which may not be recognized as EPS (Ref).

Mechanism: EPS: Dose-related; due to antagonism of dopaminergic D2 receptors in nigrostriatal pathways; high levels of dopamine 2 receptor occupancy have been observed for haloperidol (Ref). Tardive dyskinesia: Time related (delayed); results from chronic exposure to dopamine 2 receptor antagonists leading to up-regulation of these receptors over time (Ref).

Onset:

Antipsychotics in general:

Acute dystonia: Rapid; in the majority of cases, dystonia usually occurs within the first 5 days after initiating antipsychotic therapy (and even with the first dose, particularly in patients receiving parenteral antipsychotics) or a dosage increase (Ref).

Drug-induced parkinsonism: Varied; onset may be delayed from days to weeks, with 50% to 75% of cases occurring within 1 month and 90% within 3 months of antipsychotic initiation, a dosage increase, or a change in the medication regimen (such as adding another antipsychotic agent or discontinuing an anticholinergic medication) (Ref).

Akathisia: Varied; may begin within several days after antipsychotic initiation but usually increases with treatment duration, occurring within 1 month in up to 50% of cases, and within 3 months in 90% of cases (Ref).

Tardive dyskinesia: Delayed; symptoms usually appear after 1 to 2 years of continuous exposure to a dopamine 2 receptor antagonist, and almost never before 3 months, with an insidious onset, evolving into a full syndrome over days and weeks, followed by symptom stabilization, and then a chronic waxing and waning of symptoms (Ref).

Esophageal dysfunction (associated with EPS): Varied; ranges from weeks to months following initiation (Ref)

Risk factors:

EPS (in general):

• Prior history of EPS (Ref)

• Higher doses (Ref)

• Specific antipsychotic: Haloperidol has a high propensity to cause EPS (Ref)

Acute dystonia:

• Males (Ref)

• Young age (Ref)

Drug-induced parkinsonism:

• Females (Ref)

• Older patients (Ref)

Akathisia:

• Higher antipsychotic dosages (Ref)

• Polypharmacy (Ref)

• Mood disorders (Ref)

• Females (Ref)

• Older patients (Ref)

Tardive dyskinesia:

• Age >55 year (Ref)

• Cognitive impairment (Ref)

• Concomitant treatment with anticholinergic medications (Ref)

• Diabetes (Ref)

• Diagnosis of schizophrenia or affective disorders (Ref)

• Female sex (Ref)

• Greater total antipsychotic exposure (especially first-generation antipsychotics) (Ref)

• History of extrapyramidal symptoms (Ref)

• Substance misuse or dependence (Ref)

• Race (White or African descent). Note: Although early literature supported race as a potential risk factor for tardive dyskinesia (Morgenstern 1993), newer studies have challenged this assertion (Ref).

Esophageal dysfunction (associated with EPS):

• Certain comorbidities such as neurologic degenerative disease, dementia, stroke, Parkinson disease, or myasthenia gravis (Ref)

• Older adults >75 years of age (may be risk factor due to age-related muscle atrophy, cognitive impairment, reduced esophageal peristalsis) (Ref)

Hematologic abnormalities

Leukopenia, neutropenia, and thrombocytopenia have been reported rarely with haloperidol (Ref). Agranulocytosis and pancytopenia have also been reported very rarely (Ref).

Mechanism: Unclear and poorly understood (Ref).

Onset: Varied; in general, drug-induced neutropenia usually manifests after 1 or 2 weeks of exposure and agranulocytosis usually appears 3 to 4 weeks following initiation of therapy; however, the onset may be insidious (Ref).

Risk factors:

• History of drug-induced leukopenia/neutropenia or preexisting low WBC or absolute neutrophil count

• Older adults (Ref)

Hyperprolactinemia

Haloperidol commonly causes hyperprolactinemia, which may lead to gynecomastia, galactorrhea not associated with childbirth, amenorrhea, sexual disorder, and infertility (Ref). Although long-term effects of antipsychotic-induced elevated prolactin levels have not been fully evaluated, some studies have also suggested a possible association between hyperprolactinemia and an increased risk for breast and/or pituitary tumors and osteopenia/osteoporosis (Ref).

Mechanism: Dose-related (although a dose response is not consistently observed) and possibly time-related; antagonism of dopamine D2 receptors in the tuberoinfundibular dopaminergic pathway which causes disinhibition of prolactin release resulting in hyperprolactinemia (Ref). Haloperidol has been shown to have a strong D2 receptor occupancy and antagonistic properties in the pituitary (Ref).

Onset: Varied; onset is typically within a few days or weeks following initiation or a dosage increase and usually persists throughout treatment (although partial tolerance may develop). Onset may also arise after long-term stable use (Ref).

Risk factors:

• Specific antipsychotic: Haloperidol is considered to be a prolactin-elevating antipsychotic with an intermediate to high risk for hyperprolactinemia (Ref)

• Higher doses (Ref)

• Females (particularly those of reproductive age) (Ref)

• Younger patients (Ref)

Metabolic syndrome

All antipsychotics are associated with metabolic syndrome, which is comprised of significant weight gain (increase of ≥7% from baseline), hyperglycemia, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, and hypertension. Although metabolic abnormalities are usually associated with second-generation (atypical) antipsychotics, the syndrome also occurs in varying degrees with the first-generation (typical) antipsychotics, including haloperidol (Ref).

Mechanism: The mechanism for metabolic abnormalities and weight gain is not entirely understood and is likely multifactorial. Multiple proposed mechanisms, including actions at serotonin, dopamine, histamine, and muscarinic receptors, with differing effects explained by differing affinity of antipsychotics at these receptors (Ref).

Onset: Weight gain: Varied; antipsychotic-induced weight gain usually occurs rapidly in the initial period following initiation, then gradually decreases and flattens over several months with patients continuing to gain weight in the long term (Ref).

Risk factors:

Weight gain:

• Family history of obesity (Ref)

• Parental BMI (Ref)

• Children and adolescents (Ref)

• Rapid weight gain in the initial period: Younger age, lower baseline BMI, more robust response to antipsychotic and increase in appetite; rapid weight gain of >5% in the first month has been observed as the best predictor for significant long-term weight gain (Ref)

• Duration of therapy (although weight gain plateaus, patients continue to gain weight over time) (Ref)

• Schizophrenia, regardless of medication, is associated with a higher prevalence of obesity compared to the general population due to components of the illness such as negative symptoms, sedentary lifestyles, unhealthy diets (Ref)

• Specific antipsychotic: Haloperidol is usually associated with a low propensity for causing weight gain (Ref)

Lipid/glucose metabolism abnormalities:

• Specific antipsychotic: Haloperidol is usually associated with low risk of causing lipid and/or glucose metabolism abnormalities (Ref)

Mortality in older adults

Older adults with dementia-related psychosis treated with antipsychotics are at an increased risk of death compared to placebo. Although the causes of death were varied, most of the deaths appeared to be either cardiovascular (eg, heart failure, sudden death) or infectious (eg, pneumonia) in nature (Ref). For haloperidol specifically, increased risk of mortality has also been observed with the cause of death varying and attributed to a number of causes including pneumonia, acute myocardial infarction, venous thromboembolism, stroke, hip fracture, and cardiac arrhythmias (Ref). Of note, haloperidol is not approved for the treatment of dementia-related psychosis.

Mechanism: Unknown; possible mechanisms include arrhythmia, cardiac arrest, and extrapyramidal effects that may increase the risk of falls, aspirations, and pneumonia. In addition, haloperidol has been found to induce apoptosis and cause neurotoxicity, which also may play a role (Ref).

Risk factors:

• Antipsychotic class (a higher risk of increased mortality has been observed for first-generation antipsychotics, and haloperidol specifically, compared to second-generation antipsychotics) (Ref)

• Higher antipsychotic dosage (Ref)

• Dementia-related psychosis (eg, Lewy body dementia, Parkinson disease dementia)

• Older adults

Neuroleptic malignant syndrome

All antipsychotics have been associated with neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) in all ages. First-generation antipsychotic-associated NMS seems to occur at a higher frequency, severity, and lethality compared to second-generation antipsychotic-associated NMS (Ref). There are numerous reports of NMS occurring with haloperidol, either as monotherapy or in combination with other medications (Ref).

Mechanism: Non-dose-related; idiosyncratic. Believed to be due to a reduction in CNS dopaminergic tone, along with the dysregulation of autonomic nervous system activity (Ref).

Onset: Varied; in general, most patients develop NMS within 2 weeks of initiating an antipsychotic or a dosage increase, and in some patients, prodromal symptoms emerge within hours of initiation; once the syndrome starts, the full syndrome usually develops in 3 to 5 days (Ref). However, there are many cases of NMS occurring months after stable antipsychotic therapy (Ref).

Risk factors:

Antipsychotics in general:

• Antipsychotic class: First-generation antipsychotics seem to have a higher risk of NMS compared to atypical antipsychotics (Ref)

• Specific antipsychotic: Potent agents such as haloperidol are thought to confer the greatest risk (Ref)

• Males (twice as likely to develop NMS compared to females) (Ref)

• Dehydration (Ref)

• High-dose antipsychotic treatment (Ref)

• Concomitant lithium or benzodiazepine (potential risk factors) (Ref)

• Catatonia (Ref)

• Polypharmacy (Ref)

QTc prolongation

Haloperidol has been associated with a prolonged QT interval on ECG, torsades de pointes (TdP), and sudden cardiac death in all ages (Ref). In general, intravenous haloperidol is associated with a higher risk of QTc prolongation than the oral and IM route; however, the higher risk attributed to intravenous haloperidol has been questioned and recent evidence suggests it have been confounded by its use in medically ill patients with concomitant risk factors (Ref).

Mechanism: Haloperidol prolongs cardiac repolarization by blocking the rapid component of the delayed rectifier potassium current (Ikr) (Ref).

Risk factors:

Drug-induced QTc prolongation/TdP (in general):

• Females (Ref)

• Age >65 years (Ref)

• Structural heart disease (eg, history of myocardial infarction or heart failure with a reduced ejection fraction) (Ref)

• History of drug-induced TdP (Ref)

• Genetic defects of cardiac ion channels (Ref)

• Congenital long QT syndrome (Ref)

• Baseline QTc interval prolongation (eg, >500 msec) or lengthening of the QTc by ≥60 msec (Ref)

• Electrolyte disturbances (eg, hypokalemia, hypocalcemia, hypomagnesemia) (Ref)

• Bradycardia (Ref)

• Hepatic impairment (Ref)

• Kidney impairment (Ref)

• Co-administration of multiple medications (≥2) that prolong the QT interval or increase drug interactions that increase serum drug concentrations of QTc prolonging medications (Ref)

• Substance use (Ref)

Seizures

Haloperidol may lower the seizure threshold and cause seizures rarely, although evidence is weak and limited (Ref).

Mechanism: Mechanism is unknown although a role of dopamine has been suggested (Ref).

Risk factors :

Antipsychotics in general:

• History of seizure activity (Ref)

• Concurrent use of drugs that lower seizure threshold (Ref)

• Rapid dose titration or sudden increase in dose (Ref)

• Slow drug metabolism (Ref)

• Metabolic factors (Ref)

• Drug-drug interactions (Ref)

• Organic brain disorders (Ref)

Sexual dysfunction

Antipsychotics have been associated with sexual disorders in both males and females. Antipsychotic treatment has been associated with effects on all phases of sexual activity (libido, arousal, and orgasm); however, many patients with schizophrenia experience more frequent sexual dysfunction, with or without antipsychotic treatment. The following adverse reactions have been observed with haloperidol: Decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, and orgasm abnormal (Ref).

Mechanism: Antipsychotic-induced sexual dysfunction has been attributed to many potential mechanisms, including dopamine receptor antagonism, dopamine D2 receptor antagonism in the hypothalamic infundibular system causing hyperprolactinemia, histamine receptor antagonism, cholinergic receptor antagonism, and alpha-adrenergic receptor antagonism (Ref). Of note, haloperidol is associated with a high propensity for elevating prolactin (Ref).

Risk factors:

• Hyperprolactinemia (although a correlation with sexual dysfunction has been observed, a relationship has not been confirmed) (Ref)

• Schizophrenia (the prevalence of antipsychotic-induced sexual dysfunction in patients with schizophrenia is high [~50% to 60% compared with 31% of men in the general population]) (Ref)

• Specific antipsychotic: Some studies have observed a high prevalence of sexual dysfunction with haloperidol (Ref)

Temperature dysregulation

Antipsychotics may impair the body's ability to regulate core body temperature, which may cause a potentially life-threatening heat stroke during predisposing conditions such a heat wave or strenuous exercise. There are also several case reports of potentially life-threatening hypothermia associated with haloperidol use (Ref).

Mechanism: Non-dose-related; idiosyncratic. Exact mechanism is unknown; however, body temperature is regulated by the hypothalamus with involvement of the dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine neurotransmitters. D2 antagonism may cause an increase in body temperature, while 5-HT2A (serotonin) receptor antagonism may cause a decrease in body temperature. In addition, antagonism of peripheral alpha-adrenergic receptors has also been suggested as a factor in the hypothermic effect, by inhibiting peripheral responses to cooling (vasoconstriction and shivering) (Ref).

Onset: Hypothermia: Varied; antipsychotic-induced hypothermia cases indicate a typical onset in the period shortly after initiation of therapy or a dosage increase (first 7 to 10 days) (Ref).

Risk factors:

Heat stroke:

• Psychiatric illness (regardless of medication use) (Ref)

• Dehydration (Ref)

• Strenuous exercise (Ref)

• Heat exposure (Ref)

• Concomitant medication possessing anticholinergic effects (Ref)

Hypothermia:

• In general, predisposing risk factors include: Older adults, cerebrovascular accident, preexisting brain damage, hypothyroidism, malnutrition, shock, sepsis, adrenal insufficiency, diabetes, disability, burns, exfoliative dermatitis benzodiazepine use, polypharmacy, alcohol intoxication, immobility, kidney or liver failure (Ref)

• Schizophrenia (regardless of antipsychotic use) (Ref)

Canadian labeling: Additional contraindications (not in US labeling): Significant depressive states; previous spastic diseases; young children; patients of childbearing potential; breastfeeding; IV administration (IM injection).

Warnings/Precautions

Concerns related to adverse effects:

• CNS depression: May cause CNS depression, which may impair physical or mental abilities; patients must be cautioned about performing tasks that require mental alertness (eg, operating machinery, driving).

• Falls: May increase the risk for falls due to somnolence, orthostatic hypotension, and motor or sensory instability.

Disease-related concerns:

• Cardiovascular disease: Use with caution in patients with severe cardiovascular disease because of the possibility of transient hypotension and/or precipitation of angina pain.

• Bipolar disorder: Use with caution in patients with bipolar disorder; when used to control mania, there may be a rapid mood swing to depression. Haloperidol does not possess antidepressant effects (Cipriani 2006).

• Myasthenia gravis: Use with caution in patients with myasthenia gravis; may exacerbate condition (Mehrizi 2012).

• Parkinson disease: Haloperidol is contraindicated in patients with Parkinson disease; these patients are reported to be more sensitive to antipsychotic medications and use may result in severe extrapyramidal symptoms, confusion, sedation, and falls.

• Thyroid dysfunction: Avoid in thyrotoxicosis; severe neurotoxicity (rigidity, inability to walk or talk) may occur with use.

Dosage form specific issues:

• Benzyl alcohol and derivatives: Some dosage forms may contain benzyl alcohol; large amounts of benzyl alcohol (≥99 mg/kg/day) have been associated with a potentially fatal toxicity (“gasping syndrome”) in neonates; the “gasping syndrome” consists of metabolic acidosis, respiratory distress, gasping respirations, CNS dysfunction (including convulsions, intracranial hemorrhage), hypotension and cardiovascular collapse (AAP ["Inactive" 1997]; CDC 1982); some data suggests that benzoate displaces bilirubin from protein binding sites (Ahlfors 2001); avoid or use dosage forms containing benzyl alcohol with caution in neonates. See manufacturer's labeling.

• Sesame oil: Some decanoate products may contain sesame oil.

Other warnings/precautions:

• Discontinuation of therapy: When discontinuing antipsychotic therapy, gradually taper antipsychotics to avoid physical withdrawal symptoms and rebound symptoms (APA [Keepers 2020]; WFSBP [Hasan 2012]). Withdrawal symptoms may include agitation, alternating feelings of warmth and cold, anxiety, diaphoresis, dyskinesia, GI symptoms, insomnia, irritability, myalgia, paresthesia, psychosis, restlessness, rhinorrhea, tremor, and vertigo (Lambert 2007; Moncrieff 2020). The risk of withdrawal symptoms is highest following abrupt discontinuation of highly anticholinergic or dopaminergic antipsychotics (Cerovecki 2013). Patients with chronic symptoms, repeated relapses, and clear diagnostic features of schizophrenia are at risk for poor outcomes if medications are discontinued (APA [Keepers 2020]).

• Parenteral administration: Hypotension may occur, particularly with parenteral administration. Although the short-acting form (lactate) is used clinically intravenously, the IV use of the injection is not an FDA-approved route of administration; the decanoate form should never be administered intravenously.

Warnings: Additional Pediatric Considerations

For the management of delirium in pediatric patients, intravenous haloperidol has been widely studied for efficacy and has been frequently used due to lower sedative effects and rapid onset of action; however, its use is associated with adverse effects (Harrison 2006; Slooff 2014; Turkel 2014). Newer atypical antipsychotics have shown similar efficacy with less adverse effects and are being utilized more frequently. Intravenous haloperidol for delirium may be considered in patients that are unresponsive to an atypical agent or who require intravenous therapy; ECG monitoring could be considered (Turkel 2014).

Medication Safety Issues
Sound-alike/look-alike issues:

Haldol may be confused with Halcion, Halog, Stadol

Older Adult: High-Risk Medication:

Beers Criteria: Antipsychotics are identified in the Beers Criteria as potentially inappropriate medications to be avoided in patients 65 years and older due to an increased risk of stroke and a greater rate of cognitive decline and mortality in patients with dementia. Evidence also suggests there may be an increased risk of mortality with use independent of dementia. Avoid antipsychotics for behavioral problems associated with dementia or delirium unless alternative nonpharmacologic therapies have failed and patient may harm self or others. In addition, antipsychotics should be used with caution in older adults due to their potential to cause or exacerbate syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) or hyponatremia; monitor sodium closely with initiation or dosage adjustments in older adults. Use of antipsychotics may be appropriate for labeled indications, including schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, Parkinson disease psychosis, adjunctive therapy in major depressive disorder, or for short-term use as an antiemetic (Beers Criteria [AGS 2023]).

Pediatric patients: High-risk medication:

KIDs List: Dopamine antagonists, when used in pediatric patients <18 years of age, are identified on the Key Potentially Inappropriate Drugs in Pediatrics (KIDs) list; use should be avoided in infants and used with caution in children and adolescents due to risk of acute dystonia (dyskinesia), and with intravenous administration an increased risk of respiratory depression, extravasation, and death (strong recommendation; moderate quality of evidence) (PPA [Meyers 2020]).

International issues:

Haldol [US and multiple international markets] may be confused with Halotestin brand name for fluoxymesterone [Great Britain]

Reproductive Considerations

Haloperidol may increase prolactin serum concentrations, leading to decreased fertility in males and females (Drobnis 2017; Larsen 2015). When antipsychotic treatment is initiated for the first time in a patient planning to become pregnant, an agent other than haloperidol may be preferred (Larsen 2015).

Pregnancy Considerations

Haloperidol crosses the placenta in humans (Newport 2007). Although haloperidol has not been found to be a major human teratogen, an association with limb malformations following first trimester exposure in humans cannot be ruled out (ACOG 2008; Diav-Citrin 2005). Antipsychotic use during the third trimester of pregnancy has a risk for abnormal muscle movements (extrapyramidal symptoms) and withdrawal symptoms in newborns following delivery. Symptoms in the newborn may include agitation, feeding disorder, hypertonia, hypotonia, respiratory distress, somnolence, and tremor; these effects may be self-limiting or require hospitalization. If needed, the minimum effective maternal dose should be used in order to decrease the risk of EPS (ACOG 2008).

Due to pregnancy-induced physiologic changes, some pharmacokinetic properties of haloperidol may be altered. If treatment with haloperidol is required during pregnancy, regular therapeutic drug monitoring (eg, every 3 months) is recommended (Larsen 2015; Schoretsanitis 2020; Westin 2018).

Haloperidol is preferred when a first-generation antipsychotic is needed in pregnant patients. If needed, the minimum effective maternal dose should be used in order to decrease the risk of extrapyramidal symptoms (ACOG 2008; Raffi 2019; WFSBP [Hasan 2015]).

Breastfeeding Considerations

Haloperidol is present in breast milk.

Haloperidol has been detected in the plasma and urine of breastfeeding infants (Whalley 1981; Yoshida 1999). Adverse events have been reported in some infants exposed to haloperidol via breast milk (Larsen 2015; Uguz 2019). Gynecomastia and galactorrhea are known side effects with the use of haloperidol. Breastfeeding is not recommended by the manufacturer. Some guidelines do not recommend initiating haloperidol in patients who are breastfeeding (Larsen 2015). Other guidelines note that if a first-generation antipsychotic is required, haloperidol is preferred; infants should be monitored for adverse events (WFSBP [Hasan 2015]).

Monitoring Parameters

Mental status; vital signs (as clinically indicated); ECG (as clinically indicated and with off-label intravenous administration); weight, height, BMI, waist circumference (baseline; at every visit for the first 6 months; quarterly with stable antipsychotic dose); CBC (as clinically indicated; monitor frequently during the first few months of therapy in patients with preexisting low WBC or history of drug-induced leukopenia/neutropenia); electrolytes and liver function (annually and as clinically indicated); fasting plasma glucose level/ HbA1c (baseline, then yearly; in patients with diabetes risk factors or if gaining weight repeat 4 months after starting antipsychotic, then yearly); lipid panel (baseline; repeat every 2 years if LDL level is normal; repeat every 6 months if LDL level is >130 mg/dL); changes in menstruation, libido, development of galactorrhea, erectile and ejaculatory function (at each visit for the first 12 weeks after the antipsychotic is initiated or until the dose is stable, then yearly); abnormal involuntary movements or parkinsonian signs (baseline; repeat weekly until dose stabilized for at least 2 weeks after introduction and for 2 weeks after any significant dose increase); tardive dyskinesia (every 6 months; high-risk patients every 3 months); visual changes (inquire yearly); ocular examination (yearly in patients >40 years; every 2 years in younger patients) (ADA 2004; Lehman 2004; Marder 2004); fall risk (baseline and periodically during treatment in patients with diseases or on medications that may also increase fall risk); signs and symptoms of NMS (mental status changes, fever, muscle rigidity, and/or autonomic instability).

Additional monitoring parameters with IV administration: ECG (prior to administration and regularly [eg, daily] during administration to detect emerging QTc interval prolongation; consider continuous ECG, especially if patient has risk factors for QTc prolongation, the baseline ECG reveals a prolonged QTc, or cumulative doses of ≥2 mg are needed) (Drew 2010) some experts recommend continuous cardiac monitoring during administration and for 2 to 3 hours after administration (Jibson 2019); serum electrolytes (especially potassium and magnesium, prior to administration and throughout therapy).

Reference Range

Schizophrenia:

Timing of serum samples: Draw trough just before next dose (Hiemke 2018).

Therapeutic reference range: 1 to 10 ng/mL (SI: 2.66 to 26.6 nmol/L) (Hiemke 2018). Note: Dosing should be based on therapeutic response as opposed to serum concentrations; however, therapeutic drug monitoring can be used to confirm adherence (APA [Keepers 2020]).

Laboratory alert level: Variable; levels ranging from 15 ng/mL (SI: 39.9 nmol/L) to 50 ng/mL (SI: 133 nmol/L) have been identified as supratherapeutic and resulting in toxicity (Darby 1995; Hiemke 2018).
