EPS stands for extrapyramidal symptoms, which are a group of movement disorders that can occur as a side effect of some antipsychotic medications, such as haloperidol. EPS can include symptoms such as tremors, stiffness, restlessness, and involuntary movements, and can affect the patient’s quality of life and adherence to treatment. EPS can be managed and minimized through various strategies, such as dose reduction, switching to a different medication, or adding other medications to the treatment regimen.
