Angel's Trumpet Overview
Angel's trumpet is a plant species in the Solanaceae family, which includes a number of other plants such as tomatoes, potatoes, and eggplants. It is native to South America and is known for its large, aromatic flowers that hang down from the plant and look like the trumpet musical instrument.
Angel's trumpet is most often used as an ornamental plant, and while it has been used in traditional medicine, it is poisonous and can be harmful if ingested. The plant contains a number of toxic compounds, including scopolamine and atropine, which can cause a range of adverse effects if ingested, including dizziness, dry mouth, hallucinations, and coma.
Due to its safety concerns, its medicinal use is not recommended.

Haloperidol is also used to treat severe behavioral problems such as explosive, aggressive behavior or hyperactivity in children who cannot be treated with psychotherapy or with other medications. Haloperidol is in a group of medications called conventional antipsychotics. It works by decreasing abnormal excitement in the brain.
