Progressive supranuclear palsy syndrome induced by clebopride

Mov Disord. 2004 Apr;19(4):482-4. doi: 10.1002/mds.10692.

Abstract

We report on a patient who presented with a progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) syndrome while receiving clebopride (CLB), a prokinetic drug with central antidopaminergic properties. The clinical and neurophysiological signs progressively disappeared after CLB withdrawal. To our knowledge, this is the first published PSP-like syndrome attributable to an antidopaminergic drug.
