Pharmacogenetic approaches offer the possibility of identifying patient-specific biomarkers for predicting the risk of this side effect.

متن کاملEffects and side effects of antipsychotic treatment in schizophrenia: pros and cons of available self-rating scales.
INTRODUCTION To support clinical practice as well as clinical research, self-rating scales have been developed to evaluate the effects and side effects of antipsychotic treatment. The aim of this study is to compare the psychometric properties and other characteristics of frequently used self-rating scales, and also to study their relationship to subjective quality of life. METHOD Four self-r...

Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) is a rare but life-threatening idiosyncratic side effect resulting from neuroleptic drugs. NMS mainly occurs in patients treated with high-potency typical antipsychotics, but rarely caused by atypical antipsychotics. Although NMS is less common with atypical antipsychotic, but it seems that its incidence is rising due to increased administration of such drug...
