HALD SR 200MG is a long-acting intramuscular (IM) antipsychotic injection containing Haloperidol Decanoate, used for maintenance therapy in schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders in patients who require prolonged treatment.


Composition

  • Active Ingredient: Haloperidol Decanoate 200 mg/mL (in sesame oil base).

  • Vehicle: Sesame oil, benzyl alcohol (preservative).


Mechanism of Action

  • Potent dopamine (D2) receptor antagonist in the CNS.

  • Also blocks serotonin (5-HT2), alpha-adrenergic, and histamine (H1) receptors to a lesser extent.

  • Long-acting depot formulation: Slowly releases haloperidol over 3–4 weeks.


Dosage & Administration

Initial Dose (Stabilized Patients):

  • 10–15x the equivalent daily oral dose (e.g., if oral dose = 10 mg/day → 100–150 mg IM).

  • Max initial dose: 200 mg IM.

Maintenance Dose:

  • 50–200 mg IM every 4 weeks (adjust based on response).

Administration:

  • Deep IM injection (gluteal muscle preferred).

  • Do not administer IV or subcutaneously (risk of oil embolism).

Switching from Oral to Depot:

  • Overlap oral haloperidol for 4–8 weeks to ensure stability.


Uses (Indications)

✅ Maintenance therapy for schizophrenia (non-adherent patients). ✅ Chronic psychotic disorders (e.g., paranoid schizophrenia). ✅ Tourette’s syndrome (alternative when oral therapy fails).


Storage & Stability

  • Store at 15–30°C, protect from light.

  • Do not freeze (oil base may solidify).

  • Stable for up to 3 months after first use if stored properly.


Key Recommendations

✔ Monitor for EPS (extrapyramidal symptoms): Dystonia, akathisia, tardive dyskinesia. ✔ Assess QT prolongation risk (ECG monitoring in high-risk patients). ✔ Avoid abrupt withdrawal (risk of relapse). ✔ Use lowest effective dose (elderly patients are more sensitive).


Important Notes

⚠ Black Box Warning:

  • Increased mortality in elderly dementia patients (not approved for dementia-related psychosis).

  • QT prolongation & torsades de pointes (avoid in cardiac disease).

⚠ Contraindications:

  • Parkinson’s disease, Lewy body dementia (worsens motor symptoms).

  • Severe CNS depression, coma.

⚠ Pregnancy (Category C): Risk of neonatal EPS; use only if benefits justify risks.


Side Effects

Common (≥10%) Serious (<1%)
– EPS (dystonia, tremors) – Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS)
– Sedation – Severe QT prolongation
– Dry mouth – Tardive dyskinesia (irreversible)
– Weight gain – Seizures
