title: Extrapyramidal reactions to ondansetron: cross-reactivity between ondansetron and prochlorperazine?
abstract: Ondansetron can rarely induce extrapyramidal reactions in susceptible individuals. Our patient had a history of drug-induced dystonic reaction; therefore, these patients may be susceptible to extrapyramidal adverse reactions after ondansetron.
