5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS SECTION

5.2 Sudden Death, Torsades de Pointes, and QTc Interval Prolongation

SPL UNCLASSIFIED SECTION

Cases of sudden death, torsades de pointes (TdP) and QTc interval prolongation have been reported in haloperidol-treated patients [see Adverse Reactions (6.1, 6.2)]. Cases have been reported even in the absence of predisposing factors. Higher than recommended haloperidol dosages were associated with a higher risk of TdP and QTc interval prolongation.

Avoid use of haloperidol decanoate injection in patients who are at significant risk of developing TdP including those with congenital long QT syndrome, uncontrolled or significant cardiac disease, recent myocardial infarction, ischemic cardiomyopathy, unstable angina, bradyarrhythmias, uncontrolled hypertension, high degree atrioventricular block, severe aortic stenosis, or uncontrolled hypothyroidism. Avoid the concomitant use of haloperidol decanoate injection with drugs that may increase the risk of the QTc interval prolongation or increase haloperidol exposure. Assess the QTc interval via an ECG at baseline, and during treatment as clinically indicated. Obtain serum electrolytes (including potassium, calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium) at baseline and during treatment as clinically indicated, and correct electrolyte abnormalities.

5.3 Tachycardia and Hypotension

SPL UNCLASSIFIED SECTION

Tachycardia and hypotension (including orthostatic hypotension) have been reported in patients treated with haloperidol [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. Orthostatic vital signs should be monitored in patients who are at risk for hypotension (e.g., geriatric patients, patients with dehydration, hypovolemia, and concomitantly treated with antihypertensive medications), patients with known cardiovascular disease (history of myocardial infarction, ischemic heart disease, heart failure, or conduction abnormalities), and patients with cerebrovascular disease.

Should hypotension occur and a vasopressor be required, epinephrine must not be used since haloperidol decanoate injection may block its vasopressor activity, and paradoxically lower blood pressure. Instead, metaraminol, phenylephrine or norepinephrine should be used.

5.4 Cerebrovascular Adverse Reactions Including Stroke in Elderly Patients with Dementia-Related Psychosis

SPL UNCLASSIFIED SECTION

In placebo-controlled trials, elderly patients with dementia-related psychosis treated with antipsychotics had an increased risk of cerebrovascular adverse reactions (e.g., stroke, transient ischemic attack) including fatalities, compared to those treated with placebo.

The mechanism for this increased risk is not known.

Haloperidol decanoate injection is not approved for the treatment of patients with dementia- related psychosis. Haloperidol decanoate injection should be used with caution in patients with schizophrenia who have risk factors for cerebrovascular adverse reactions.

5.5 Tardive Dyskinesia

SPL UNCLASSIFIED SECTION

Tardive dyskinesia (TD) may develop in patients treated with antipsychotic drugs, including haloperidol decanoate injection [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. TD can develop after a relatively brief treatment period at low dosages and may also occur after discontinuation of treatment. If antipsychotic treatment is discontinued, TD may partially or completely remit. Antipsychotic treatment, however, may suppress or partially suppress the signs and symptoms of TD and may mask the underlying process. The effect that symptomatic suppression has upon the long-term course of TD is unknown.

The TD risk in patients treated with antipsychotic drugs appears to be highest among the elderly, especially elderly women, but it is not possible to predict, which patients are likely to develop TD. The TD risk and the likelihood that TD will become irreversible increase with the duration of antipsychotic drug treatment and the cumulative dosage.

In patients who require chronic antipsychotic treatment, use the lowest dosage and the shortest duration of treatment that produces a satisfactory clinical response. Periodically reassess the need for continued treatment. If signs and symptoms of TD appear in haloperidol decanoate injection-treated patients, consider drug discontinuation. However, some patients may require haloperidol decanoate injection treatment despite the presence of TD.

5.6 Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome

SPL UNCLASSIFIED SECTION

Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome (NMS), a potentially fatal symptom complex, has been reported in association with the use of antipsychotic drugs [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. Clinical manifestations of NMS are hyperpyrexia, muscle rigidity, delirium, and autonomic instability, and additional signs may include elevated creatine phosphokinase, myoglobinuria (rhabdomyolysis), and acute renal failure.

If NMS is suspected, immediately discontinue haloperidol decanoate injection and provide intensive symptomatic treatment and monitoring.

5.7 Neurological Adverse Reactions in Patients with Parkinson’s Disease or Dementia with Lewy Bodies

SPL UNCLASSIFIED SECTION

Patients with Parkinson’s disease or Dementia with Lewy bodies may experience increased sensitivity to haloperidol. Manifestations of this increased sensitivity include severe extrapyramidal symptoms (e.g., tremor, rigidity, bradykinesia), confusion, sedation, and falls. Haloperidol decanoate injection is contraindicated in patients with Dementia with Lewy bodies and in patients with Parkinson’s disease.

5.8 Seizures

SPL UNCLASSIFIED SECTION

Haloperidol decanoate injection may lower the seizure threshold. Haloperidol decanoate injection is generally not recommended in patients receiving antiseizure drugs or have a history of seizures or EEG abnormalities. If clinically indicated, maintain patients taking haloperidol decanoate injection on adequate antiseizure therapy.

5.9 Hypersensitivity Reactions

SPL UNCLASSIFIED SECTION

There have been postmarketing reports of hypersensitivity reactions with haloperidol including anaphylactic reaction, angioedema, dermatitis exfoliative, hypersensitivity vasculitis, rash, urticaria, face edema, laryngeal edema, bronchospasm, and laryngospasm [see Adverse Reactions (6.2)].

Haloperidol decanoate injection is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to haloperidol or any components of haloperidol decanoate injection.

5.10 Falls

SPL UNCLASSIFIED SECTION

Antipsychotics, including haloperidol decanoate injection, may cause somnolence, orthostatic hypotension, motor instability and sensory abnormality, which may lead to falls and, consequently, fractures and other injuries.

If patients have a condition (or take concomitant drugs) that could exacerbate these effects, complete fall risk assessments when initiating haloperidol decanoate injection treatment and periodically during long-term treatment.

5.11 Potential for Cognitive and Motor Impairment

SPL UNCLASSIFIED SECTION

Haloperidol decanoate injection may impair judgement, thinking, or motor skills. Inform patients of the risk and advise them to not drive a motor vehicle or operate hazardous machinery until they are reasonably certain that treatment with haloperidol decanoate injection does not impair their cognitive and motor functions.

5.12 Risk of Encephalopathic Syndrome with Concomitant Use of Lithium

SPL UNCLASSIFIED SECTION

An encephalopathic syndrome, characterized by weakness, lethargy, fever, tremulousness, confusion, extrapyramidal symptoms, leukocytosis, and elevated serum enzymes (AST, ALT, GGT, alkaline phosphatase, CK, and LDH), BUN, and fasting blood sugar, followed by irreversible brain damage has occurred in a few patients treated with concomitant haloperidol and lithium.

Monitor patients who concomitantly use haloperidol decanoate injection and lithium closely for early signs of neurological toxicity, and discontinue haloperidol decanoate injection or both haloperidol decanoate injection and lithium promptly if such signs appear.

5.13 Leukopenia, Neutropenia, and Agranulocytosis

SPL UNCLASSIFIED SECTION

Leukopenia, neutropenia and agranulocytosis (including fatal cases) have been reported during treatment with antipsychotic drugs, including haloperidol decanoate injection [see Adverse Reactions (6.2)].

Possible risk factors for antipsychotic drug-associated leukopenia and neutropenia include pre-existing low WBC and history of drug-induced leukopenia and neutropenia.

Perform frequent complete blood count (CBC) monitoring during the first few months of haloperidol decanoate injection therapy in patients with a history of a clinically significant low WBC, drug-induced leukopenia or neutropenia. Consider discontinuing haloperidol decanoate injection in patients who have a clinically significant decline in their WBC in the absence of other causative factors. Discontinue haloperidol decanoate injection in patients with clinically significant neutropenia or an absolute neutrophil count of < 1,000/mm3 and monitor closely until the neutropenia resolves.

5.14 Hyperprolactinemia

SPL UNCLASSIFIED SECTION

Antipsychotic drugs elevate prolactin levels during acute and chronic use and may result in galactorrhea, amenorrhea, gynecomastia, and impotence which have been reported with antipsychotic drugs [see Adverse Reactions (6.1, 6.2) and Use in Specific Populations (8.3)].

Published epidemiologic studies have shown inconsistent results regarding the potential association between hyperprolactinemia and breast cancer [see Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1)].

5.15 Risk of Severe Neurotoxicity in Patients with Thyrotoxicosis

SPL UNCLASSIFIED SECTION

Severe neurotoxicity (rigidity, inability to walk or talk) may occur in patients with thyrotoxicosis who are also receiving antipsychotic drugs, including haloperidol decanoate injection.

6 ADVERSE REACTIONS

ADVERSE REACTIONS SECTION

The following adverse reactions are discussed in more detail in other sections of the labeling:

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS

DRUG INTERACTIONS SECTION

7.1 Drugs that Prolong the QTc Interval

SPL UNCLASSIFIED SECTION

Avoid concomitant use of haloperidol decanoate injection with other drugs with a known potential to prolong the QTc interval. If concomitant use cannot be avoided [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)]:

  • Obtain ECGs when initiating and during concomitant use as clinically indicated.
  • Obtain serum electrolytes (including potassium, calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium) when initiating and during concomitant use as clinically indicated.

QTc interval prolongation has been observed with haloperidol decanoate injection treatment. Concomitant use of haloperidol decanoate injection with other products that prolong the QTc interval may result in a greater increase in the QTc interval, and adverse reactions associated with QTc interval prolongation, including torsade de pointes, other serious arrythmias, and sudden death [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)].

7.2 Other Clinically Significant Drug Interactions

SPL UNCLASSIFIED SECTION

Table 3 describes other clinically significant drug interactions of haloperidol decanoate injection.

Table 3: Other Clinically Significant Drugs Interactions*

CNS Depressants

Clinical
Impact

Haloperidol may potentiate CNS depressants.

Prevention or Management

Avoid concomitant use of haloperidol decanoate injection with CNS depressants such as anesthetics, opioids, and alcohol.

CYP3A4 and/or CYP2D6 Inhibitors

Clinical
Impact

CYP3A4 and/or CYP2D6 inhibitors increase haloperidol exposure (haloperidol is a CYP3A4 and CYP2D6 substrate) [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. Concomitant use of haloperidol decanoate injection and CYP3A4 and/or CYP2D6 inhibitors may increase the risk of haloperidol-associated adverse reactions.

Prevention or Management

Monitor for signs or symptoms of increased or prolonged pharmacologic effects of haloperidol. Decrease the dosage of haloperidol decanoate injection as clinically necessary.

CYP3A4 Inducers

Clinical
Impact

CYP3A4 inducers decrease haloperidol exposure (haloperidol is a CYP3A4 substrate) [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. Concomitant use of haloperidol decanoate injection with CYP3A4 inducers may reduce the effectiveness of haloperidol decanoate injection.

Prevention or Management

Monitor patients and if necessary, increase the dosage of haloperidol decanoate injection.

CYP2D6 Substrates

Clinical
Impact

Haloperidol is a CYP2D6 inhibitor. Plasma concentrations of CYP2D6 substrates may increase when they are concomitantly administered with haloperidol decanoate injection.

Prevention or Management

Monitor plasma concentrations of the CYP2D6 substrate, if possible. Consider reducing the dosage of the CYP2D6 substrate, if necessary. Refer to the Prescribing Information of the CYP2D6 substrate.

Dopaminergic Drugs

Clinical
Impact

Haloperidol may antagonize the effects of levodopa, dopamine agonists, and other drugs intended to increase dopamine levels.

Prevention or Management

Haloperidol decanoate injection is contraindicated in patients with Parkinson’s disease and dementia with Lewy bodies. For conditions other than Parkinson’s disease and dementia with Lewy bodies, when possible, avoid concomitant use of haloperidol decanoate injection with dopaminergic drugs [see Warnings and Precautions (5.7)].

Anticholinergic Drugs

Clinical
Impact

The healthcare provider should keep in mind the possible increase in intraocular pressure when anticholinergic drugs are administered concomitantly with haloperidol decanoate injection.

Prevention or Management

Monitor and manage patients as clinically appropriate.

Lithium

Clinical
Impact

Concomitant use of haloperidol decanoate injection with lithium may cause an encephalopathic syndrome followed by irreversible brain damage [see Warnings and Precautions (5.12)].

Prevention or Management

Monitor patients who concomitantly use haloperidol decanoate injection with lithium closely for early signs of neurological toxicity, and discontinue haloperidol decanoate injection or both haloperidol decanoate injection and lithium promptly if such signs appear.

8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS

USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS SECTION

8.1 Pregnancy

PREGNANCY SECTION

Risk Summary

RISKS

Available data from published epidemiologic studies of pregnant patients exposed to haloperidol have not established a drug-associated risk of major birth defects or miscarriage. Case reports of limb malformations in neonates have been reported in haloperidol-treated mothers; however, causal relationships were not established in these cases. There are risks to the pregnant patient from untreated schizophrenia, including increased risk of relapse, hospitalization, and suicide (see Clinical Considerations). Haloperidol decanoate injection should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus.

Neonates exposed to antipsychotic drugs during the third trimester of pregnancy are at risk for extrapyramidal and/or withdrawal symptoms (agitation, hypertonia, hypotonia, tremor, somnolence, respiratory distress, and decreased feeding) following delivery (see Clinical Considerations).

The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in patients with schizophrenia is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2-4% and 15-20%, respectively.

Clinical Considerations

SPL UNCLASSIFIED SECTION

Disease-associated Maternal and/or Embryo/Fetal Risk

SPL UNCLASSIFIED SECTION

There is risk to the pregnant patient from untreated schizophrenia, including increased risk of schizophrenia relapse, hospitalization, and suicide. Schizophrenia is associated with increased adverse perinatal outcomes, including preterm birth. It is not known if this is a direct result of the illness or other comorbid factors.

Fetal/Neonatal Adverse Reactions

SPL UNCLASSIFIED SECTION

Extrapyramidal and/or withdrawal symptoms, including agitation, hypertonia, hypotonia, tremor, somnolence, respiratory distress and decreased feeding have been reported in neonates who were exposed to antipsychotic drugs during the third trimester of pregnancy. Transient neonatal dyskinesia has also been reported. Some neonates recovered within hours or days without specific treatment; others required prolonged hospitalization. Monitor neonates for extrapyramidal, withdrawal, and dyskinesia symptoms and manage symptoms appropriately.

Data

SPL UNCLASSIFIED SECTION

Animal Data

SPL UNCLASSIFIED SECTION

Rats or rabbits administered oral haloperidol at doses of 0.5 to 7.5 mg/kg (approximately 0.2 to 7 times the maximum recommended human oral dose (MRHD) of 20 mg/day based on mg/m2 body surface area) showed an increase in incidence of resorption, reduced fertility, delayed delivery, and pup mortality. No fetal abnormalities were observed at these doses in rats or rabbits. Cleft palate has been observed in mice administered oral haloperidol at a dose of 0.5 mg/kg, which is approximately 0.1 times the oral MRHD based on mg/m2 body surface area.

8.2 Lactation

LACTATION SECTION

Risk Summary

RISKS

Literature reports suggest that haloperidol is detected in human milk of haloperidol-treated mothers with a relative infant dose ranging from 2% to 12%. Haloperidol has also been detected in the plasma and urine of breastfed infants. There has been a report of lethargy, poor feeding, and slowing of motor movements in an infant exposed to haloperidol through human milk. Haloperidol may increase prolactin levels in some patients which can lead to galactorrhea.

Monitor infants exposed to haloperidol decanoate via human milk for excessive sedation, irritability, poor feeding, and extrapyramidal symptoms (tremors and abnormal muscle movements).

The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for haloperidol decanoate injection and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from haloperidol decanoate injection or from the mother’s underlying condition.

8.3 Females and Males of Reproductive Potential

FEMALES & MALES OF REPRODUCTIVE POTENTIAL SECTION

Infertility

SPL UNCLASSIFIED SECTION

Females

SPL UNCLASSIFIED SECTION

Based on the pharmacologic action of haloperidol (D2 receptor antagonism), treatment with haloperidol decanoate injection may result in an increase in serum prolactin levels, which may lead to a reduction in fertility in females of reproductive potential.

Males

SPL UNCLASSIFIED SECTION

Based on animal studies, male fertility may be impaired by treatment with haloperidol [see Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1)].

8.4 Pediatric Use

PEDIATRIC USE SECTION

Safety and effectiveness of haloperidol decanoate injection have not been established in pediatric patients.

8.5 Geriatric Use

GERIATRIC USE SECTION

Clinical studies of haloperidol decanoate injection did not include sufficient numbers of patients 65 years of age and older to determine whether they respond differently from younger adult patients.

The exposure of haloperidol may be higher in geriatric patients compared to young adult patients. Results from small clinical studies suggest a lower clearance and a longer elimination half-life of haloperidol in geriatric patients [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. Consider starting at the low end of the recommended dosing range for the first haloperidol decanoate injection dose in geriatric patients [see Dosage and Administration (2.1)].

Antipsychotic drugs increase the risk of death in elderly patients with dementia-related psychosis. Haloperidol decanoate injection is not approved for the treatment of patients with dementia-related psychosis [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].

Elderly patients with dementia-related psychosis treated with antipsychotics had an increased risk of cerebrovascular adverse reactions (e.g., stroke, transient ischemic attack) including fatalities, compared to those treated with placebo [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4)].

Antipsychotic drugs increase the risk of tardive dyskinesia and this risk appears to be highest among the elderly, particularly elderly women [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5)].

8.6 Hepatic Impairment

SPL UNCLASSIFIED SECTION

Haloperidol is extensively metabolized in the liver, therefore, haloperidol concentrations may be higher in patients with hepatic impairment compared to patients with normal hepatic function. In patients with hepatic impairment, consider starting at the low end of the recommended dosing range for the first haloperidol decanoate injection dose [see Dosage and Administration (2.1)].

10 OVERDOSAGE

OVERDOSAGE SECTION

Reported overdose signs and symptoms are those resulting from an exaggeration of the drug’s known pharmacologic effects (e.g., drowsiness and sedation, tachycardia and hypotension) and adverse reactions, the most prominent of which would be: 1) severe extrapyramidal symptoms, 2) hypotension, or 3) sedation. Patients may appear comatose with respiratory depression and hypotension which could be severe enough to produce a shock-like state. Extrapyramidal reactions may be manifested by muscular weakness or rigidity and a generalized or localized tremor, as demonstrated by the akinetic or agitans types, respectively. The risk of QTc interval prolongation and torsade de pointes should be considered [see Adverse Reactions (6.2)].

Management of Overdose

There is no specific antidote for a haloperidol overdose.

  • Should hypotension occur and a vasopressor be required, epinephrine must not be used since haloperidol decanoate injection may block its vasopressor activity, and paradoxical further lowering of the blood pressure may occur. Instead, metaraminol, phenylephrine or norepinephrine should be used.
  • In case of severe extrapyramidal reactions, antiparkinson drugs should be administered, and should be continued for several weeks, and then withdrawn gradually as extrapyramidal symptoms may emerge if discontinued abruptly.
  • Monitor ECG and vital signs for signs of QTc interval prolongation or dysrhythmias and continue monitoring until the dysrhythmias resolve and the haloperidol-induced QTc interval prolongation resolves.
  • Dialysis is not recommended in the treatment of overdose because it removes only very small amounts of haloperidol.

Consider contacting the Poison Help line (1-800-222-1222) or a medical toxicologist for additional overdose management recommendations.

11 DESCRIPTION

DESCRIPTION SECTION

Haloperidol decanoate injection is the decanoate ester of haloperidol, for intramuscular use. Haloperidol is a typical antipsychotic. The structural formula of haloperidol decanoate is 4-(4-Chlorophenyl)-1-[4-(4-fluorophenyl)-4-oxobutyl]piperidin-4-yl decanoate:

Haloperidol Decanoate Structural Formula
Haloperidol Decanoate Structural Formula

Haloperidol decanoate, USP is a white or almost white powder. The molecular formula is C31H41CIFNO3 and has a molecular weight of 530.11. Haloperidol decanoate is very soluble in alcohol, in methanol and in methylene chloride, practically insoluble in water.

Each mL of haloperidol decanoate injection contains:

  • 50 mg of haloperidol (present as 70.52 mg of haloperidol decanoate, USP) in a sesame oil vehicle, with 1.2% (w/v) benzyl alcohol as a preservative.
  • 100 mg of haloperidol (present as 141.04 mg of haloperidol decanoate, USP) in a sesame oil vehicle, with 1.2% (w/v) benzyl alcohol as a preservative.

12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY SECTION

12.1 Mechanism of Action

MECHANISM OF ACTION SECTION

The mechanism of action of haloperidol decanoate injection for the treatment of schizophrenia in adults is unclear. However, its effect in schizophrenia could be mediated through its activity as an antagonist at central dopamine type 2 receptors. Haloperidol also binds to alpha-1 adrenergic receptors, but with lower affinity, and displays minimal binding to muscarinic cholinergic and histaminergic (H1) receptors.

12.2 Pharmacodynamics

PHARMACODYNAMICS SECTION

The exposure-response relationship and time course of pharmacodynamic response for the safety and effectiveness of haloperidol have not been fully characterized.

12.3 Pharmacokinetics

PHARMACOKINETICS SECTION

Absorption

SPL UNCLASSIFIED SECTION

The plasma concentrations of haloperidol gradually rise, reaching a peak at about 6 days after the haloperidol decanoate injection, and fall thereafter, with an apparent half-life of about 3 weeks. Steady state plasma concentrations of haloperidol are achieved within 2 to 4 months in patients receiving monthly haloperidol decanoate injections.

The relationship between the haloperidol decanoate injection dosage and plasma haloperidol concentration is roughly linear for dosages below 450 mg (1.5 times the maximum recommended dosage [see Dosage and Administration (2.1)]; however, the pharmacokinetics of haloperidol following intramuscular injections can be quite variable between patients.

Elimination

SPL UNCLASSIFIED SECTION

Metabolism

SPL UNCLASSIFIED SECTION

Haloperidol is metabolized by several routes. The major pathways are glucuronidation and ketone reduction. The cytochrome P450 enzyme system is also involved, particularly CYP3A4 and, to a lesser extent, CYP2D6.

Excretion

SPL UNCLASSIFIED SECTION

Less than 3% of administered haloperidol is eliminated unchanged in the urine. The apparent half-life of haloperidol following intramuscular injection of haloperidol decanoate injection is about 3 weeks.

Specific Populations

SPL UNCLASSIFIED SECTION

Patients with Hepatic Impairment

SPL UNCLASSIFIED SECTION

Studies in patients with hepatic impairment have not been conducted. Haloperidol is extensively metabolized in the liver, therefore, haloperidol concentrations may be higher in patients with hepatic impairment compared to patients with normal hepatic function [see Use in Specific Populations (8.6)].

Geriatric Patients

SPL UNCLASSIFIED SECTION

Haloperidol plasma concentrations in geriatric patients were higher than in younger adult patients when administered the same dosage. Results from small clinical studies suggest a lower clearance and a longer elimination half-life of haloperidol in geriatric patients. The results are within the observed variability in haloperidol pharmacokinetics [see Use in Specific Populations (8.5)].

Patients with Renal Impairment

SPL UNCLASSIFIED SECTION

Studies in patients with renal impairment have not been conducted.

Drug Interaction Studies

The haloperidol plasma concentrations increased when ketoconazole (400 mg/day, strong CYP3A4 inhibitor) and paroxetine (20 mg/day, strong CYP2D6 inhibitor) were concomitantly administered with haloperidol [see Drug Interactions (7.2)].

Valproate

SPL UNCLASSIFIED SECTION

Sodium valproate, a drug known to inhibit glucuronidation, does not affect haloperidol plasma concentrations.

Rifampin

SPL UNCLASSIFIED SECTION

In a study with 12 patients with schizophrenia, concomitant administration of oral haloperidol and rifampin, a strong CYP3A4 inducer, resulted in decreased plasma haloperidol concentrations by a mean of 70% and increased mean scores on the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale from baseline. In five other patients with schizophrenia treated with oral haloperidol and rifampin, discontinuation of rifampin resulted in a mean 3.3-fold increase in haloperidol concentrations [see Drug Interactions (7.2)].

Carbamazepine

SPL UNCLASSIFIED SECTION

In a study with 11 patients with schizophrenia, concomitant administration of haloperidol and increasing doses of carbamazepine, a CYP3A4 strong inducer, resulted in decreased haloperidol plasma concentrations in a linear manner with increasing carbamazepine concentrations [see Drug Interactions (7.2)].

Effect of Haloperidol on Other Drugs

SPL UNCLASSIFIED SECTION

Haloperidol is an inhibitor of CYP2D6. Plasma concentrations of CYP2D6 substrates may increase when they are concomitantly administered with haloperidol [see Drug Interactions (7.2)].

13 NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY

NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY SECTION

13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility

CARCINOGENESIS & MUTAGENESIS & IMPAIRMENT OF FERTILITY SECTION

Carcinogenesis

SPL UNCLASSIFIED SECTION

Carcinogenicity studies using oral haloperidol were conducted in Wistar rats (dosed at up to 5 mg/kg daily for 24 months) and in Albino Swiss mice (dosed at up to 5 mg/kg daily for 18 months).

  • In the rat study, survival was reduced in all haloperidol dose groups, decreasing the number of rats at risk for developing tumors. However, a relatively greater number of rats survived to the end of the study in the high dose haloperidol male and female groups. These haloperidol-treated rats at doses up to approximately 2.5 times the maximum recommended human oral dose (MRHD) of haloperidol of 20 mg/day based on mg/m2 body surface area did not have a greater incidence of tumors than control-treated rats.
  • In female mice, there was a statistically significant increase in mammary gland neoplasia and total tumor incidence at haloperidol doses approximately 0.3 and 1.2 times the oral MRHD based on mg/m2 body surface area and there was statistically significant increase in pituitary gland neoplasia at approximately 1.2 times the oral MRHD. In male mice, no statistically significant differences in incidences of total tumors or specific tumor types were noted.

Tissue culture experiments indicate that approximately one-third of human breast cancers are prolactin dependent in vitro, a factor of potential importance if the prescription of these drugs is contemplated in a patient with a previously detected breast cancer. An increase in mammary neoplasms has been found in rodents after chronic administration of antipsychotic drugs [see Warnings and Precautions (5.14)].

Mutagenesis

SPL UNCLASSIFIED SECTION

No mutagenic potential of haloperidol decanoate was found in the Ames Salmonella assay. Negative or inconsistent positive findings have been obtained in in vitro and in vivo studies of effects of haloperidol on chromosome structure and number. The available cytogenetic evidence is considered too inconsistent to be conclusive.

Impairment of Fertility

SPL UNCLASSIFIED SECTION

Haloperidol was orally administered to male rats at doses of 0.5, 2.5, and 15 mg/kg/day (approximately 0.2 to 7 times the oral MRHD based on mg/m2 body surface area) for 63 days prior to mating with untreated females. Decreases in mating performance and fertility, as well as markedly decreased motor activity, was observed at seven times the oral MRHD based on mg/m2 body surface area. The NOAEL of 2.5 mg/kg/day is approximately equal to the oral MRHD based on mg/m2 body surface area.

17 PATIENT COUNSELING INFORMATION

INFORMATION FOR PATIENTS SECTION

Sudden Death, Torsades de Pointes, and QTc Interval Prolongation
Inform patients that there have been reports of sudden death, Torsades de Pointes, and QTc interval prolongation in haloperidol-treated patients. Advise patients or caregivers to seek immediate medical attention if they suspect or develop signs or symptoms associated with the clinical consequences of QTc interval prolongation [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)].

Tardive Dyskinesia
Inform patients that tardive dyskinesia (TD) may develop with haloperidol decanoate injection. Counsel patients on the signs and symptoms of tardive dyskinesia and to contact their healthcare provider if these abnormal movements occur [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5)].

Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome
Counsel patients about a potentially fatal adverse reaction, Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome (NMS), that has been reported with administration of antipsychotic drugs. Advise patients, family members, or caregivers to contact the health care provider or to report to the emergency room if they experience signs and symptoms of NMS [see Warnings and Precautions (5.6)].

Hypersensitivity Reactions
Inform patients of the potential risk of hypersensitivity reactions. Advise patients to stop taking haloperidol decanoate injection and seek immediate attention if signs or symptoms of a hypersensitivity reaction occur [see Warnings and Precautions (5.9)].
