Dear, heloperidol is commonly used anti-psychotic medication. I don't know from where you got the prescription of this drug. You have to consult the psychiatrist who prescribed this medicine if you want to change it. That is healthy practice. As anti-psychotic drugs are scheduled, you may not get it with chemist unless you produce a written and signed prescription. Consult a psychiatrist. Take care.
