haloperidol

Haloperidol is a medication used to help manage mental health conditions, primarily psychosis, including schizophrenia, and severe agitation. It works by blocking certain chemicals in the brain that can cause hallucinations and delusions, helping to reduce symptoms. Haloperidol is available in various forms, such as tablets or injections, and should be used under medical supervision because it can have side effects and requires proper dosing. It is effective in stabilizing thoughts and perceptions but should always be taken as prescribed by a healthcare professional.
