HALDOL
Haloperidol Decanoate Injection is a drug medication under the branding of Haldol. It is used to treat schizophrenia. Schizophrenia is a mental disorder that affects a person’s thoughts, emotions and behaviours. Some significant symptoms of schizophrenia include delusion, hallucinations, altered behaviour and mood swings. This medication is a typical antipsychotic and works by blocking the action of dopamine, which is a neurotransmitter.
A neurotransmitter is the chemical messenger between the body’s nerve cells and helps end-to-end communication in the brain. During several mental health conditions, this communication between the cells is disrupted, leading to the body’s different behaviour. Haldol affects the action of neurotransmitters and improves the altered mood of the body.
