โฆ Synopsis
A prompt recognition of neuroleptic malignant-like syndrome is essential because of its high morbidity and mortality. A similar condition is described associated with metoclopramide, an agent with dopamine receptorblocking properties. An increased index of suspicion for early diagnosis of this condition and adjustment of metoclopramide dosing in patients with renal failure are emphasized.
