IV haloperidol protocol

Hello,

Does your facility allow IV haloperidol to be dispensed to all clinical units or restrict its use to certain areas only (e.g., ICU, telemetry)? Could you share your facility's protocol regarding the use of IV haloperidol if you have any (e.g., for management of acute agitation)?

Thank you in advance!
