Product Images Haloperidol Lactate

This text warns about an increased risk of mortality in elderly patients with dementia-related psychosis who are treated with antipsychotic drugs. It cites seventeen placebo-controlled trials which showed that drug-treated patients carried a risk of death 1.6 to 1.7 times greater than placebo-treated patients. Most deaths seemed to be due to cardiovascular or infectious nature. Although observational studies suggest that conventional antipsychotic drugs may also cause increased mortality, it is not clear whether mortality is caused by the drugs themselves or by patient characteristics. The use of Haloperidol injection is not approved for the treatment of patients with dementia-related psychosis.*
