Podcast # 390: Haloperidol for Pain

Author: Gretchen Hinson, MD

Educational Pearls:

  • Reasonable approach of haloperidol 10 mg IM (or 5 mg IV) for pain relief in opioid-dependent patients; can repeat once
  • Chronic opioid use results in hyperalgesia and a narrow therapeutic window in the long-term so alternatives are essential
  • Consider the risk of QTc prolongation with haloperidol, particularly if the patient is on other drugs that may do so

Editor's note: Interested in more alternatives to opioids? Check out the Colorado ACEP Opioid Prescribing & Treatment Guidelines and the impact these have had in Colorado
