new warnings about potentially fatal arrhythmias, or irregular heart beats, with haloperidol (Haldol)
November 2007
You'll see new warnings about potentially fatal arrhythmias, or irregular heart beats, with haloperidol (Haldol).
Most cases occur when it's given intravenously (IV) in the hospital in high doses...but it can also happen when high doses are given by mouth or intramuscular (IM) injection.
The IV route is often used for patients who need more frequent dosing or a faster response than is practical with oral or IM routes.
