	Haloperidol for agitation in dementia
		In the present study haloperidol treatment was associated with a lower degree of aggression than was placebo.
		Evidence suggests that haloperidol was useful in reducing aggression, but was associated with adverse effects; there was no evidence to support the routine use of this drug for other manifestations of agitation in dementia.
		Variations in degree of dementia, dosage and length of haloperidol treatment, and in ways of assessing response to treatment suggested caution in the interpretation of reported effects of haloperidol in the management of agitation in dementia.

		This study was conducted to explore the role of ethanol in altering the potency of haloperidol and lorazepam with respect to cardiac conduction and contraction.
		Abstract: Haloperidol, a widely used antipsychotic drug, was tested for its ability to block the behavioral response to amphetamine and to elicit catalepsy in rats treated with saline or ascorbic acid (1000 milligrams per kilogram of body weight).
		Administration of haloperidol leads to development of tolerance (supersensitivity of the dopamine autoreceptors) to neuroleptics, which is associated with decreased turnover of dopamine; this may result in overcoming the oxidative stress generated initially due to increased dopamine turnover.
