|April 1, 1987
Abstract:
Cancer patients commonly receive neuroleptics as antiemetics to relieve nausea and vomiting induced by chemotherapeutic agents. Respiratory dyskinesia, an infrequent, acute, neuroleptic-induced, dystonic reaction, is a potentially life-threatening entity that responds promptly to anticholinergic medication.
