Overview:

Haloperidol
(when available)

Pharmacology and use:
Haloperidol is a psychotropic agent indicated for the treatment of schizophrenia. It also exerts sedative and antiemetic activity. Haloperidol has actions at all levels of the central nervous system-primarily at subcortical levels-as well as on multiple organ systems. Haloperidol has strong antiadrenergic and weaker peripheral anticholinergic activity; ganglionic blocking action is relatively slight. It also possesses slight antihistaminic and antiserotonin activity. For the treatment of schizophrenic patients who require prolonged parenteral antipsychotic therapy also used in Tourette's syndrome and Severe hyperactivity

Mechanism Of Action:
The precise mechanism whereby the therapeutic effects of Haloperidol are produced is not known. Its effect on the central nervous system is thought to be associated with the competitive blockade of postsynaptic dopamine D2 receptors in the mesolimbic dopaminergic system and an increased turnover rate of brain dopamine.
