What is Haldol?

Haldol is an antipsychotic medicine. It works by changing the


actions of chemicals in your brain.
Haldol is used to treat schizophrenia. It is also used to control
motor and speech tics in people with Tourette's syndrome.
Haldol may also be used for purposes not listed in this
medication guide.

Important Information
Haldol is not approved for use in psychotic conditions related
to dementia. This medicine may increase the risk of death in
older adults with dementia-related conditions.
You should not use Haldol if you have Parkinson's disease or
certain conditions that affect your central nervous system.

Before taking this medicine


You should not use Haldol if you are allergic to it, or if you
have:
• Parkinson's disease; or
• certain conditions that affect your central nervous system
(such as severe drowsiness, or slowed thinking caused
by taking other medicines or drinking alcohol).
Haldol is not approved for use in psychotic conditions related
to dementia. This medicine may increase the risk of death in
older adults with dementia-related conditions.
To make sure Haldol is safe for you, tell your doctor if you
have:
• liver disease;
• kidney disease;
• heart disease, angina (chest pain);
• a thyroid disorder;
• epilepsy or other seizure disorder;
• personal or family history of long QT syndrome;
• an electrolyte imbalance (such as low levels of potassium or
magnesium in your blood); or
• if you take a blood thinner (warfarin, Coumadin, Jantoven).
It is not known whether this medicine will harm an unborn
baby. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become
pregnant.
Taking antipsychotic medication during the last 3 months
of pregnancy may cause problems in the newborn, such as
withdrawal symptoms, breathing problems, feeding
problems, fussiness, tremors, and limp or stiff muscles.
However, you may have withdrawal symptoms or other
problems if you stop taking your medicine during pregnancy.
If you become pregnant while taking Haldol, do not stop
taking it without your doctor's advice.
Haloperidol can pass into breast milk and may harm a
nursing baby. You should not breast-feed while using this
medicine.

How should I take Haldol?


Follow all directions on your prescription label. Your doctor
may occasionally change your dose to make sure you get the
best results. Do not take Haldol in larger or smaller amounts
or for longer than recommended.
medicine at the same time each day.
Your blood pressure will need to be checked often.
Your chest pain may become worse when you first start
taking amlodipine or when your dose is increased. Call your
doctor if your chest pain is severe or ongoing.
If you are being treated for high blood pressure, keep using
amlodipine even if you feel well. High blood pressure often
has no symptoms. You may need to use blood pressure
medicine for the rest of your life.
Your hypertension or heart condition may be treated with a
combination of drugs. Use all medications as directed by your
doctor. Read the medication guide or patient instructions
provided with each medication. Do not change your doses or
stop taking any of your medications without your doctor's
advice. This is especially important if you also take
nitroglycerin.
Amlodipine is only part of a complete program of treatment
that may also include diet, exercise, weight control, and other
medications. Follow your diet, medication, and exercise
routines very closely.
Store at room temperature away from moisture, heat, and
light.

Dosage Information (in more detail)
What happens if I miss a dose?
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. If you are
more than 12 hours late, skip the missed dose. Do not take
extra medicine to make up the missed dose
What is amlodipine?
Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that dilates (widens)
blood vessels and improves blood flow.
Amlodipine is used to treat chest pain (angina) and other
conditions caused by coronary artery disease.
Amlodipine is also used to treat high blood pressure
(hypertension). Lowering blood pressure may lower your risk
of a stroke or heart attack.
Amlodipine is for use in adults and children who are at least 6
years old.
Important information
Before taking amlodipine, tell your doctor if you have
congestive heart failure or liver disease.
Drinking alcohol can further lower your blood pressure and
may increase certain side effects of amlodipine.
If you are being treated for high blood pressure, keep using
amlodipine even if you feel well. High blood pressure often
has no symptoms. You may need to use blood pressure
medication for the rest of your life.
Amlodipine is only part of a complete program of treatment

Tell your doctor about all other heart or blood pressure
medications you are taking.
Your chest pain may become worse when you first start

doctor if your chest pain is severe or ongoing.
The interpretation of any intuitionistically valid formula in the infinite
Heyting algebra described above results in the top element,
representing true, as the valuation of the formula, regardless of what
values from the algebra are assigned to the variables of the formula.[7]
Conversely, for every invalid formula, there is an assignment of
values to the variables that yields a valuation that differs from the top
element.[8][9] No finite Heyting algebra has both these properties.[7]
Kripke semantics[edit]
Main article: Kripke semantics
Building upon his work on semantics of modal logic, Saul Kripke
created another semantics for intuitionistic logic, known as Kripke
semantics or relational semantics.[10]
Tarski-like semantics[edit]
It was discovered that Tarski-like semantics for intuitionistic logic
were not possible to prove complete. However, Robert Constable has
shown that a weaker notion of completeness still holds for
intuitionistic logic under a Tarski-like model. In this notion of
completeness we are concerned not with all of the statements that
are true of every model, but with the statements that are true in the
same way in every model. That is, a single proof that the model
judges a formula to be true must be valid for every model. In this
case, there is not only a proof of completeness, but one that is valid
according to intuitionistic logic.[11]
Relation to other logics[edit]
Intuitionistic logic is related by duality to a paraconsistent logic known
as Brazilian, anti-intuitionistic or dual-intuitionistic logic.[12]
The subsystem of intuitionistic logic with the FALSE axiom removed
is known as minimal logic.
Relation to many-valued logic[edit]
Kurt Gödel in 1932 showed that intuitionistic logic is not a finitely-
many valued logic. (See the section titled Heyting algebra semantics
above for a sort of "infinitely-many valued logic" interpretation of
intuitionistic logic.)
Relation to intermediate logics[edit]
Any finite Heyting algebra which is not equivalent to a Boolean
algebra defines (semantically) an intermediate logic. On the other
hand, validity of formulae in pure intuitionistic logic is not tied to any
individual Heyting algebra but relates to any and all Heyting algebras
at the same time.
Relation to modal logic[edit]
Any formula of the intuitionistic propositional logic may be translated
into the normal modal logic S4 as follows:
⊥ =⊥

A =◻A if
∗ A
is prime (a positive literal)
(A∧B =
) A
∗ ∗

B

(A∨B =
) A
∗ ∗

B

(A→B =◻
) (
∗ A


B

)
(¬A =◻(¬( ¬ A := A → ⊥
) A
∗ ∗
))
{\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}\bot ^{*}&=\bot \\A^{*}&=\Box
A&&{\text{if }}A{\text{ is prime (a positive
literal)}}\\(A\wedge B)^{*}&=A^{*}\wedge B^{*}\\(A\vee
B)^{*}&=A^{*}\vee B^{*}\\(A\to B)^{*}&=\Box
\left(A^{*}\to B^{*}\right)\\(\neg A)^{*}&=\Box (\neg
(A^{*}))&&\neg A:=A\to \bot \end{aligned}}}

and it has been demonstrated[13] that the translated formula is valid in


the propositional modal logic S4 if and only if the original formula is
valid in IPC. The above set of formulae are called the Gödel–
McKinsey–Tarski translation.
There is also an intuitionistic version of modal logic S4 called
Constructive Modal Logic CS4.[14]
Lambda calculus[edit]
There is an extended Curry–Howard isomorphism between IPC and
simply-typed lambda calculus.[14]
