Terapinės indikacijos:

Haloperidol is indicated for use in the management of manifestations of psychotic disorders. Haloperidol is indicated for the control of tics and vocal utterances of Tourette’s Disorder in children and adults. Haloperidol is effective for the treatment of severe behavior problems in children of combative, explosive hyperexcitability (which cannot be accounted for by immediate provocation). Haloperidol is also effective in the short-term treatment of hyperactive children who show excessive motor activity with accompanying conduct disorders consisting of some or all of the following symptoms: impulsivity, difficulty sustaining attention, aggressivity, mood lability, and poor frustration tolerance. Haloperidol should be reserved for these two groups of children only after failure to respond to psychotherapy or medications other than antipsychotics. Haloperidol is contraindicated in severe toxic central nervous system depression or comatose states from any cause and in individuals who are hypersensitive to this drug or have Parkinson’s disease.

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 seventeen
placebo-controlled trials
(modal duration of 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 about
4.5%,
compared to a rate of about 2.6% in the placebo group. Although the
causes of
death were varied, most of the deaths appeared to be either
cardiovascular (e.g.,
heart failure, sudden death) or infectious (e.g., 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 (see WARNINGS).
