maximum dose is a total 3 mg/day orally, in divided doses. target dose range is a total 0.5 to 3 mg/day orally, in divided doses. starting dose is a total 0.25 mg/day orally, preferably in divided doses. The recommended doses below provide a total dose in the approximate range 0.02 to 0.075 mg/kg/day when administered orally in divided doses (two to three times a day). maximum dose is a total 10 mg/day orally, in divided doses. target dose range is a total 1 to 6 mg/day orally, in divided doses maximum dose is a total 6 mg/day orally, in divided doses. target dose range is a total 1 to 4 mg/day orally, in divided doses starting dose is a total 0.5 mg/day orally, preferably in divided doses The recommended doses below provide a total dose in the approximate range 0.03 to 0.15 mg/kg/day, when administered orally in divided doses (two or three times a day). The maximum daily dose for all treatment is 20mg A daily maintenance dose of 10mg may be required in Gilles de la Tourette Syndrome Starting dose 1.5mg tds adjusted according to response. Gilles de la Tourette Syndrome, severe tics, intractable hiccup: Treatment should start with half the dosage stated for adults and adjusted according to the results if necessary. Restlessness or agitation in the elderly: Too rapid a dosage reduction should be avoided. Once satisfactory control of symptoms has been achieved, dosage should be gradually reduced to the lowest effective maintenance dose. Severe symptomatology (resistant patients) 3.0 - 5.0mg bd or tdsĠ.5-1 mg three times a day orally, may be increased to 2-3 mg three times a day, if required, to obtain a response. Moderate symptomatology 1.5 - 3.0mg bd or tds Use as a psychomotor anti-agitation agent for mental or behavioural problems such as aggression, hyperactivity and self-mutilation in the mentally retarded and in patients with organic brain damage (depending on symptoms), violent or dangerously impulsive behaviour. Use as an antipsychotic agent for schizophrenia, psychoses, mania and hypomania, organic brain damage (depending on symptoms).ĭoses between 2 and 20 mg/day should be administered either as a single dose or in divided doses.ġ-3 mg orally three times a day, may be increased up to 20 mg per day in divided doses, depending on the response. Haloperidol-Richter should be used at the minimum dose that is clinically effective Patients who are elderly or debilitated or those with previously reported adverse reactions to neuroleptic drugs may require less Haloperidol-Richter solution and half the normal starting dose may be sufficient for therapeutic response.

To determine the initial dose, consideration should be given to the patient's age, severity of symptoms and previous response to other neuroleptic drugs. Since individual response to neuroleptic drugs is variable, dosage for all indications should be individually determined and is best initiated and titrated under close clinical supervision.
