This medication may cause menstrual disturbances, excessive milk secretion, or gynecomastia due to hormonal secretion abnormalities, and use should be discontinued immediately if any adverse signs appear. Neurological side effects such as tremors, tongue twisting, and restlessness may rarely occur; thus, discontinuation is advised if these symptoms arise. Long-term use may lead to persistent involuntary movements around the mouth, hence care is needed for long-term use.

This medication may induce cardiovascular issues such as hypertension and arrhythmias, therefore caution is necessary for patients with heart conditions. A serious side effect known as neuroleptic malignant syndrome may occur; if symptoms like high fever, muscle rigidity, or changes in consciousness present themselves, the medication must be stopped immediately and emergency treatment should be sought.

Particularly when taken with medications affecting the heart, there is an increased risk of arrhythmias, thus caution is required. Pregnant or nursing women should refrain from using this medication as it may pose risks to the fetus or newborn. Elderly patients may have decreased renal function, causing the drug to remain in the body longer; therefore, careful dosage adjustments and monitoring for side effects are necessary. This medication suppresses vomiting, which can mask other causes of vomiting; thus, the underlying cause should be identified before use.
