Haloperidol, also known by its brand name Haldol, is an antipsychotic medication primarily used to treat schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders. One of the common side effects of this medication is extrapyramidal symptoms, which are involuntary muscle movements. Muscle spasms of the face, also known as dystonia, are a type of extrapyramidal symptom. This often manifests as uncontrollable narrowing or closing of the eyes, grimacing, or sticking out of the tongue. Therefore, the best choice among the given options is B, muscle spasm of the face. The other options, rash on the legs, hair loss, and weight gain are not listed as common side effects of Haldol.
