Levosulpiride-Induced Dystonia: 7 Cases.
    The Journal of the Association of Physicians of India, 2018, Volume: 66, Issue:6

    Levosulpiride is a newer prokinetic agent with increasingly extensive use in India by general physicians. Levosulpiride selectively inhibits gut and central D2 receptors and is associated with various movement disorders like- tremor, Parkinsonism, dyskinesias and rarely dystonia. We report 7 cases of levosulpirideinduced dystonia at our institute. Though all patient had at least 50% improvement after discontinuation of levosulpiride, none had complete recovery at mean follow up of 5.5 months. Through this article we want to highlight extrapyramidal side effects of levosulpiride, need of its awareness among physicians.
