Extract

In his survey of drug-induced extrapyramidal reactions, Ayd (1961) found that they occurred in 38·9 per cent, of 3,775 patients treated with phenothiazines. La Verne (1961) reported the occurrence of dyskinesia in 48 per cent. of 270 cases treated with haloperidol. It is therefore standard practice in many units to administer anti-Parkinson drugs concurrently with tranquillizers.
