Two Cases of Blonanserin Induced Dyskinesia
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Private Psychiatry - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Blonanserin is an atypical antipsychotic with favorable outcome especially for negative symptoms of schizophrenia, and it also has some beneficial effects on cognition. It is well known that atypical antipsychotics have favorable adverse effect profile as compared to typical and conventional antipsychotics. As blonanserin is a relatively newer compound, so there is dearth of studies related to its side effect profile. Here we are reporting two cases of blonanserin induced dyskinesia.
