Q

Haloperidol Side Effects / Adverse Effects

A

EPSEs - Extrapyramidal SE

Amenorrhea, galactorrhea (women), gynecomastea (men) from blockade of dopamine with increased prolactin

Blurred vision, dry mouth, urinary hestitancy, constipation from blockade of acetylcholine

Orthostatic hypotension from blockade of muscarinic receptors

Weight gain and sedation from blockade of histamine

Neuroleptic malignant syndrome - decreased consciousness and responsiveness, increased muscle tone and autonomic dysfunction caused by excessive dopamine receptor blockade. Fatal in 10% of cases
