Dose"‘Dependent Olanzapine"‘Induced Myoclonus
Keywords:
Dose"‘dependent, myoclonus, olanzapineAbstract
Second"‘generation antipsychotics (SGA), mainly clozapine have been reported to induce myoclonus. Although olanzapine"‘induced myoclonus is reported, dose"‘dependent response has not been described. We report dose"‘related olanzapine"‘induced myoclonus in an early onset schizophrenia patient. We also suggest certain management strategies for such adverse side effects.Downloads
