If I could give less than a one or a - 5 I would. My 91 year old father was admitted for diarrhea and dehydration. They started a standard rehydration IV fluid. When he had trouble sleeping the MD ordered HALDOL DECONOATE!!!! As a geriatric Pharmacist who lives several hours away I was unaware he received this medication. I do know this is a seriously bad decision to give this medication to give an elderly patient especially the timed released deconoate form for sleep. He received two doses before my sister called me and started dad is hallucinating. I called the hospital and could not speak to the MD who prescribed this medication. Needless to say he is now home and very sedated and still unable to function as he did before his admission. I am very disappointed with the care or as I see it lack of care, he received. We will definitely go somewhere else if he need further care in the future!!!
