Prochlorperazine in Childhood: Navigating the Desert of Side Effects

The use of medications in children, especially those with neurological conditions, requires careful consideration, much like navigating a vast and unknown desert. This research explores the potential side effects of prochlorperazine, a medication commonly used in children, examining the prevalence and nature of these effects in a cohort of young patients.

The authors highlight the predominantly neurological side effects, including impaired consciousness, dyskinesia, pyramidal signs, and hypertonus, emphasizing the importance of close monitoring and early intervention. They provide valuable insights into the management of these side effects, suggesting prompt discontinuation of the medication and, if needed, the use of orphenadrine to alleviate dyskinesia.
