  2. Definition

    This codelist was taken from OpenCodelists, created by OpenSAFELY. We recommend viewing this Phenotype on the OpenCodelist website to view the most recent version.

    This code list includes all formulations of haloperidol, except for long acting depot formulations of haloperidol decanoate. Haloperidol is a first generation antipsychotic and a potent dopamine antagonist. It is licensed for a wide range of indications including the treatment of psychotic disorders, management of behavioral and psychiatric symptoms of dementia, acute delirium, chorea and tics, nausea and vomiting in post operative or palliative care and restlessness and confusion in palliative care.
