Movadol LA Injection is a long-acting injectable formulation containing haloperidol decanoate, a derivative of the butyrophenone class of antipsychotic agents. Each 1 mL ampule contains 50mg of haloperidol decanoate. This product is indicated for the treatment of schizophrenia, particularly in patients requiring long-term antipsychotic therapy. The decanoate ester of haloperidol provides a prolonged duration of action, allowing for once-a-month dosing.

Adverse reactions reported with Movadol LA Injection include Parkinsonian symptoms, dystonia, akathisia, and anticholinergic effects.
