    Journal: Br J Hosp Med; 1991 Sep; 46(3):167-9. PubMed ID: 1681972.
    Abstract:
    In this article the treatment of drug-induced extrapyramidal disorders is briefly reviewed. Anticholinergic antiparkinsonian drugs are discussed with emphasis on the extent of their usage; the potential for abuse, causing confusion, and impairing cognition; and their effect on neuroleptic drug levels and on tardive dyskinesia. Practical guidance for their use is included.
