Antipsychotic Agent
ACTION AND CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Haloperidol decanoate (intramuscular), an ester derivative of
haloperidol, possesses
the
antipsychotic
properties
of
haloperidol.
When
it
is
administered
as
an
intramuscular depot in sesame oil, esterases present in blood and
tissues hydrolyse
haloperidol decanoate to provide a slow release of the active
neuroleptic haloperidol
from the depot into the systemic circulation. The onset of action
occurs within a few
days after injection and the therapeutic effect continues for 2 to 4
weeks, although
adequate control is frequently maintained with one injection every
four weeks.
Careful
supervision
is
required
throughout
treatment
due
to
the
variations
in
individual patient response.
Haloperidol decanoate possesses antiemetic properties; it has a marked
tendency to
provoke extrapyramidal effects and has relatively weak
alpha-adrenolytic properties.
It may also exhibit hypothermic and anorexiant effects and potentiate
the action of
barbiturates, general anesthetics, and other CNS depressant drugs.
As with other neuroleptics, the mechanism of action of haloperidol
decanoate has
not been entirely elucidated, but has been attributed to the
inhibition of the transport
mechanism of cerebral monoamines by haloperidol, particularly by
blocking the
impulse transmission in dopaminergic neurons.
The pharmacokinetics were studied in chronic psychotic patients
receiving monthly
injections for up to two years. The initial dose was based on the
observation that the
bioavailability of oral haloperidol is 60 to 70%, cor
