Many common medications can cause or worsen tremors. Identifying these drug-induced tremors is key for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment, often involving drug withdrawal.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Tremor is a frequent patient complaint.
  • Caffeine and beta-adrenergic agonists are known tremorogenic agents.
  • Other drug classes, including SSRIs and TCAs, can also induce tremors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current information on drugs associated with tremor.
  • To guide clinicians in diagnosing and treating drug-induced tremors.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of drug-induced tremors.
  • Analysis of pharmacological mechanisms.
  • Clinical case examples.

Main Results:

  • Identified common and less recognized drug classes causing tremors.
  • Highlighted the importance of medication history in tremor diagnosis.

  • Discussed treatment strategies, primarily drug discontinuation.

    • Conclusions:

    • Recognizing drug-induced tremors aids prompt diagnosis and avoids unnecessary investigations.
    • Discontinuation of offending medications is the primary treatment.
    • This review provides essential knowledge for clinicians managing tremors.
