Haloperidol: A phenyl-piperidinyl-butyrophenone that is used primarily to treat SCHIZOPHRENIA and other PSYCHOSES. It is also used in schizoaffective disorder, DELUSIONAL DISORDERS, ballism, and TOURETTE SYNDROME (a drug of choice) and occasionally as adjunctive therapy in INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY and the chorea of HUNTINGTON DISEASE. It is a potent antiemetic and is used in the treatment of intractable HICCUPS. (From AMA Drug Evaluations Annual, 1994, p279)
haloperidol : A compound composed of a central piperidine structure with hydroxy and p-chlorophenyl substituents at position 4 and an N-linked p-fluorobutyrophenone moiety.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" The patient had unusual, life-threatening complications, consisting of cardiac arrhythmia, followed by cardiac arrest, dysphagia persisting for eight weeks and leading to aspiration pneumonia, seizures, and myoclonus following treatment with haloperidol."7.66Neuroleptic malignant syndrome after haloperidol therapy. ( Cruz, FG; Harney, JH; Thiagarajan, D, 1983)
"From among 1377 patients with movement disorders, four patients had an unusual movement disorder characterised by paroxysmal bursts of involuntary, regular, repetitive, rhythmic, bilateral, coordinated, simultaneous, stereotypic myoclonus and vocalisations, often associated with tonic symptoms, interference with voluntary functioning, presence of hyperactivity, attention and learning disabilities, and resistance to treatment with haloperidol and other drugs."3.67Paroxysmal myoclonic dystonia with vocalisations: new entity or variant of preexisting syndromes? ( Feinberg, TE; Shapiro, AK; Shapiro, E, 1986)
" The patient had unusual, life-threatening complications, consisting of cardiac arrhythmia, followed by cardiac arrest, dysphagia persisting for eight weeks and leading to aspiration pneumonia, seizures, and myoclonus following treatment with haloperidol."3.66Neuroleptic malignant syndrome after haloperidol therapy. ( Cruz, FG; Harney, JH; Thiagarajan, D, 1983)
"Haloperidol has long been used to manage agitation in dementia, but it is associated with increased side effects."1.35Multifocal myoclonus induced by haloperidol. ( Benito-León, J; Bermejo-Pareja, F; Domínguez, C, 2009)
"The pattern of myoclonus is unlike previous reported cases and may relate to activation of serotonin 5HT1A receptors (possibly supersensitive in Pick's disease) or to hypodopaminergia."1.29Reversible intermittent rhythmic myoclonus with fluoxetine in presumed Pick's disease. ( Lauterbach, EC, 1994)
