So, why has this site chosen to completely ignore the long-running, unexplained, shortage of Haloperidol, and the fact there is no adequate replacement? The drug companies also keep lying about the release date.
Hi al51573, I dont think anybody has "chosen" to ignore the issue, have you discussed it with your GP Or pharmacist?
All I can find is that there is a production delay.

aI I found this on a pharmacist site
Reason for the Shortage
West-Ward Pharmaceuticals’ parent company, Hikma Pharmaceuticals, acquired several products from Bedford Laboratories in July 2014 including haloperidol lactate injection. West-Ward is not actively marketing haloperidol lactate at this time.
Mylan Institutional could not provide a reason for the shortage.
Sagent had haloperidol lactate on shortage due to manufacturing delays.
Teva has haloperidol lactate on shortage due to manufacturing delays.
Mylan Institutional acquired haloperidol lactate injection from Pfizer on December 6, 2013.
Patriot Pharmaceuticals states the reason for the shortage was increased demand.
Ok, maybe not chosen. But, up until now, it puts out the info on the drug as if it was available when it isn't, which is somewhat remiss, at best.
