Haloperidol trade name?

What trade names does haloperidol sell under?

Haloperidol is marketed under several brand (trade) names, depending on the country and formulation (for example, tablets vs. injectable products). Common trade names you may see include Haldol and Haldol Decanoate.

What is the difference between Haldol and Haldol Decanoate?

Haldol typically refers to the oral (tablet) form. Haldol Decanoate refers to a long-acting injectable (LAI) version used for ongoing maintenance treatment in some patients.

Is haloperidol available as a generic?

Yes. In many places, haloperidol is widely available as a generic medicine, so you may see “haloperidol” or “haloperidol (as [salt/strength])” as the label rather than a brand name.

Which formulation should I check for on my prescription?

If you’re trying to match a label to haloperidol, check the product form on the packaging:
- oral tablets (often branded as Haldol)
- long-acting injection (often branded as Haldol Decanoate)

If you tell me your country and whether it’s a tablet or injection, I can narrow down the most likely trade names for your specific product.
