Uses of Dosik Tablets 5mg

Dosik Tablets 5mg is used to treat schizophrenia and other psychotic illnesses, mania in bipolar disorder, and severe agitation or aggression when other measures have not worked. Doctors also use it for delirium, for persistent tics in Tourette’s syndrome, and in palliative care to control nausea and vomiting. It may be given as tablets, liquid, or a short- or long-acting injection.

How Dosik Tablets 5mg 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.

• Tell your doctor about heart rhythm problems, Parkinson’s disease, epilepsy, thyroid or liver disease, or low potassium, and about all other medicines, especially those that affect heart rhythm.
• Your doctor may arrange an ECG before and during treatment.
• In older people with dementia it slightly increases the risk of stroke, so it is used only when clearly needed.
• Avoid alcohol and do not drive until you know how it affects you, and discuss pregnancy or breastfeeding with your doctor.
