THERAPEUTIC CLASSIFICATION
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
IM depot in sesame
oil, esterases present in blood and tissues hydrolyze 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 1 injection every 4 weeks. Careful supervision is
required throughout
treatment due to the variations in individual patient response.
Haloperidol 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 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 2 years. The initial dose was based on the
observation that the
bioavailability of oral halo
