How Dosik Tablets 10mg works

Haloperidol blocks dopamine D2 receptors in the brain. Too much dopamine activity is linked to hallucinations, delusions and agitation, so reducing it helps settle these symptoms. The same action in the part of the brain that triggers vomiting explains its anti-sickness effect.
