A Dystonia Case Due to Metoclopramid Usage
Abstract
Metoclopramid is the dopamine receptor antagonist. It has been used widely as antiemetic agent. This drug enters the blood-brain barrier and causes extrapyramidal symptoms such as Parkinsonism, malign neuroleptic syndrome, akathisia, tardive dyskinesia and acute dystonic reaction. Our case is a 17-year-old female, who took 3x10 mg metoclopramid for the purpose of treatment for three days and applied to our emergency service with the involuntary spasm in the neck and both arms.
