When checking interaction based on authoritative sources Drugs.com, Rxlist.com, Webmd.com, Medscape.com there are contraindications or side effects that may cause harm or increase the negative effect from drug use in presence of concomitant diseases.

Consumer:

Haloperidol appears to be primarily converted in the liver to several metabolites, one of which is believed to be pharmacologically active. The metabolites and approximately 1% of the parent drug are excreted in the urine. Patients with impaired renal and/or hepatic function may be at greater risk for adverse effects due to drug and metabolite accumulation. Therapy with haloperidol should be administered cautiously in such patients. Lower initial dosages and slower titration may be appropriate.
