[Acute dyskinesia after the ingestion of antiemetics leading to emergency hospitalization].
19 cases of acute dyskinetic reactions related to anti-emetic drugs have been retrospectively examined. In these cases, the diagnosis was not recognized and the patients were hospitalized. Metoclopramide was the most frequently involved drug (17 cases). In one case, domperidone was the drug responsible of the neurologic symptomatology. The doses used were not higher than recommended. In most of cases, the neurologic manifestations occurred within the first 24 hours and disappeared within a few hours after discontinuation of the treatment.
