Abstract

1. Haloperidol and reduced haloperidol plasma concentrations were measured in thirteen stable schizophrenic patients that received both oral haloperidol and haloperidol decanoate. 2. Significant correlations between reduced haloperidol/haloperidol ratios from oral haloperidol and haloperidol decanoate occurred at week two and week 16, respectively. 3. The formation of RH was consistent during haloperidol decanoate treatment.
