Diagnosed with childhood tics

Patient's question:

Last year and until now in the first month of this year, in the blink of an eye and with a crooked mouth

Doctor's answer:

Haloperidol
This medication is the first-line treatment for tics. It is a dopamine receptor antagonist. The initial dose is usually 0.25mg, and the dosage is gradually increased based on the severity of the condition. The daily dosage range is typically 1.5-10mg. Due to the long half-life of haloperidol, its clinical effects usually become apparent within 4-14 days.
