Serenace 5mg/Ml Inj (Haloperidol) is a typical antipsychotic medication that works by blocking dopamine receptors in the brain. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that plays a role in mood, movement, and thinking. By blocking dopamine receptors, haloperidol reduces the activity of dopamine in the brain, which helps to improve symptoms of psychosis and other conditions.

Store haloperidol at room temperature, away from light and moisture. Keep it out of reach of children and pets.

The dosage of haloperidol will vary depending on the condition being treated, the patient's age, and other factors.

Haloperidol is typically taken by mouth, but it can also be given by injection.
