Metoclopramide-induced tardive dyskinesia: a case report. 1986

R R Lazzara, and A Stoudemire, and D Manning, and K C Prewitt

A case of tardive dyskinesia developed in a patient who had been treated with metoclopramide for 8 months. Acute extrapyramidal side effects are also possible with this medication. Guidelines for the use of metoclopramide are presented with special emphasis on patients with renal insufficiency and the elderly. The importance of consultation-liaison psychiatrists' familiarity with the neurologic side effects of this commonly prescribed drug used in general medical practice is emphasized.
