title: [Extrapyramidal disorders induced by veralipride (Agreal). Apropos of 5 cases].
abstract: Veralipride is a substituted benzamide which is used for the treatment of menopausal hot flushes. We report five cases with extrapyramidal disorders associated to a treatment with this drug for which the neuroleptic activity resulting from an interaction with D2 receptors is not always known by prescribers. One case consisted of acute dyskinesias and four of parkinsonian syndromes, one of these being associated with tardive dyskinesia. In these four cases, dosing recommendations were not respected.
