    Area of Science:

    • Pharmacology
    • Neurology
    • Toxicology

    Context:

    • Adverse drug reactions are a significant concern in clinical practice.
    • Neurologic symptoms can manifest with various therapeutic agents.
    • Dosage is a critical factor in drug-induced toxicity.

    Purpose:

    • To review and synthesize information on drug-induced neurologic symptoms.
    • To identify common neurologic side effects associated with specific drug classes.
    • To provide a consolidated resource for understanding drug neurotoxicity.

    Summary:

    • High doses of many medications can precipitate neurologic symptoms including drowsiness, insomnia, confusion, seizures, and coma.
    • Extrapyramidal disorders are also noted adverse effects.
    • This review focuses on five key drug classes: antipsychotics, anti-Parkinsonian agents, antiepileptics, calcium antagonists, and bismuth salts.

    Impact:

    • Enhances understanding of potential neurotoxic effects of commonly used drugs.
    • Informs clinical decision-making regarding drug selection and dosage.
    • Contributes to patient safety by highlighting risks of drug-induced neurologic disorders.
