Thanks.

Thank you everyone!

Yes, thanks elkpark

Thank you everyone! Just to clarify, for the approved indications of treatment of schizophrenia (acute episodes) and for tourette's tics, my understanding, it could be administered in ER, psych floor, crisis unit. It could technically be given to a psych patient for treatment of schizophrenia in a nursing home or LTC, my guess is. IM route. It will not be given for Tx of schizophrenia at home. I think that such patient will be taken to the ER to get symptoms under control. The rest sounds like (IV use, on the other floors and in the other settings) is for other indications, like agitation, etc.

Hi, doing some research and trying to figure out if haloperidol lactate injection is administered for acute episodes of schizophrenia or Tourette's in the ICU, and if yes - how often. Please help. Thanks.

Thank you, I really appreciate.

Thank you so much. This helps a lot. What other settings can short acting be administered in? ER? ICU? nursing home? hospice? probably not home, right? Can a family member administer? Can it be administered on a general floor in the hospital? Again, I really appreciate this info and your time! This is a great learning opportunity for me.

Please help me, I really need to know this information for my project (pharmacy student)! To clarify my question further: Short-acting Hal Lac injection - for acute agitation, so I can imagine it is used in the ER and on the psych floor in the hospital. Is it used on the general floor, too? and also, how often, if ever is the short-acting injection used in ambulatory psych clinics? Is only long-acting injection administered in the clinics? Thanks!

Hi, Could someone please help: Haloperidol Lactate INJECTION (short acting, not long-acting once a month formulation) - where is it primarily administered for acute psychosis (not for sleep)? - Since it is for emergency use (injection), is it ever administered in psych clinics? - Is it administered in home setting? and how/by whom? - In the hospital: is it only administered in ER, or on the general floor, too? How long is it typically administered, before the patient is switched to PO or the long-acting depot formulation? Thanks in advance.
