A danger of haloperidol therapy in children

Paul S. Lietman, W. Donald Shields, Patrick F. Bray

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article

Abstract

Attention is directed to the potential danger of therapy with haloperidol in children. Its value in reducing the excessive movements of Sydenham chorea must be weighed against the usual tendency of this disorder to remit spontaneously and the ocasional tendency of the drug to cause catastrophic adverse reactions.
