Acute dystonic reactions in Saudi Arabian psychiatric patients treated with haloperidol.
The work described in this paper arose from a clinical observation that Saudi Arabian patients treated with haloperidol appeared to suffer extrapyramidal side effects - particularly acute dystonic reactions, more frequently than European patients. It was decided to study sequential drug free patients requiring haloperidol treatment and the results are presented.
