Pregnancy: If the patient is pregnant, thinks she may be pregnant or is planning to have a baby, ask the doctor for advice. The doctor may advise not to use Haloperidol Injection while pregnant.
The following problems may occur in newborn babies of mothers that use Haloperidol Injection in the last 3 months of their pregnancy (the last trimester): Muscle tremors, stiff or weak muscles.
Being sleepy or agitated.
Problems breathing or feeding.
The exact frequency of these problems is unknown. If Haloperidol Injection is being used while pregnant and the baby develops any of these side effects, contact the doctor.
Breast-feeding: Talk to the doctor if the patient is breast-feeding or planning to breast-feed. This is because small amounts of the medicine may pass into the mother's milk and on to the baby. The doctor will discuss the risks and benefits of breast-feeding while using Haloperidol Injection.
Fertility: Haloperidol Injection may increase the levels of a hormone called 'prolactin', which may affect fertility in men and women. Talk to the doctor for any questions about this.
