Abstract:
An 11-year-old girl had a one-day history of nausea and vomiting for which her family physician prescribed 4 suppositories of prochlorperazine 25 mg. Five hours after the last dose she developed dystonic posturing; she recovered rapidly after intramuscular injection of 40 mg orphenadrine.
