Is there an upper limit for haldol dosing?

Answer 1

Adults

An initial dose of 50 mg every 4 weeks is recommended, increasing if necessary by 50 mg increments up to 200 mg every 4 weeks.

Subsequent monthly doses should be assessed on the individual patient's response. If, for clinical reasons, two-weekly administration is preferred these doses should be halved.

In patients with severe symptomatology, or in those who require large oral doses for maintenance, higher doses may be required
