title: Dose and blood levels of haloperidol in treatment of mania.
abstract: Three doses of haloperidol, 10 mg/day, 30 mg/day, and 80 mg/day, were compared in 47 newly admitted manic patients. There was no difference in outcome within 6 weeks among the three doses. Four blood levels of plasma and red blood cell (RBC) haloperidol and reduced haloperidol showed no linear or curvilinear relationships to clinical response.
