Haloperidol as a CYP2D6 inducer

[Survival0200]

Hello!

I read from Wikipedia, that haloperidol is a CYP2D6 inducer - with unspecified potency.

Would it be worth to combine haloperidol with codeine (a CYP2D6 substrate)?

The chart states two other CYP2D6 inducers: rifampicin and dexamethasone, but taking those without a good reason wouldn't probably be wise. (And haloperidol you could get by just asking it from your shrink.)

Haloperidol is profoundly unpleasant as a drug though....

Horrible drug, mostly useless. And contra indicated for epeleptic's.

I wonder why during my insult it was IV-ed?

Nothing positive about that experience. Haldol is a bad drug.
