Product description

Haloperidol is a very strong neuroleptic. It is used to calm dogs before general anesthesia. It is also used, with limited success, in the treatment of aggression and other behavioral disorders. Haloperidol is prescribed for the treatment of epilepsy in cats. This medication is known as a dopamine antagonist, which is a class of drugs that bind to and block dopamine receptors. These receptors play an important role in many neurological processes, like movement coordination, pleasure, cognition, memory, and learning. When these receptors don’t function properly, it can lead to several neurological and psychiatric illnesses. Haloperidol comes in an oral solution.
