Zuclopenthixol-induced neuroleptic malignant syndrome at rechallenge and its extrapyramidal effects
CJ Kemperman
Department of Psychiatry, State University Hospital, Groningen, The Netherlands.
This is the first report of a zuclopenthixol-induced NMS. The lack of
previous reports may be because the receptor-binding profile of
thioxanthenes give rise to fewer extrapyramidal effects than comparable
neuroleptics. It is important to know more of the relationship between the
potential for induction of extrapyramidal effects and success in NMS
rechallenge.
