Summary: On this episode of the Real Life Pharmacology podcast, I discuss haloperidol pharmacology, adverse effects, drug interactions and much more. <br> <br> <br> <br> Haloperidol comes in multiple dosage forms. Be very careful with the use of injectable haloperidol as there is an immediate and extended release formulation. <br> <br> <br> <br> Haloperidol is a dopamine antagonist which means that EPS adverse effects are going to be concerning. <br> <br> <br> <br> In hospice patients, haloperidol is frequently used for its antiemetic properties as well as its potential to help end-of-life restlessness and agitation.
