Extrapyramidal reactions in Asians
RL Binder and R Levy
The authors studied systematically whether 20 Asian patients were more
vulnerable to the acute extrapyramidal side effects of neuroleptics than
were 20 black and 40 white patients. They found that extrapyramidal
reactions were more frequent in the Asian patients and that the difference
was statistically significant.
