– Twenty‐nine patients were treated with haloperidol decanoate, the dosage ranging from 100 to 300 mg i.m. once a month, with duration of treatment ranging from 3–7 months. It seems that haloperidol decanoate could be useful in schizo‐affective disorder/depressed type and also in manic disorder. The investigators were impressed by the relative lack of side effects.
