Key takeaways
Haloperidol (Haldol) and thiothixene (Navane) are both typical antipsychotics used to treat schizophrenia, but they have some key differences. Haloperidol is available as an oral tablet, oral liquid, and injection, either long-acting (monthly) or short-acting (for hospital use), while thiothixene is taken orally. Both medications can cause movement-related side effects like rigid muscles and tremors. Thiothixene can be taken by people as young as 12, whereas haloperidol can be used in children as young as age 3 years. Both medications carry risks for older adults with dementia-related psychosis and can cause serious side effects like neuroleptic malignant syndrome.
