Difference between Dystonia and Prochlorperazine

Dystonia vs. Prochlorperazine

Dystonia is a neurological movement disorder syndrome in which sustained or repetitive muscle contractions result in twisting and repetitive movements or abnormal fixed postures. Prochlorperazine is a dopamine (D2) receptor antagonist that belongs to the phenothiazine class of antipsychotic agents that are used for the antiemetic treatment of nausea and vertigo.

Similarities between Dystonia and Prochlorperazine

Dystonia and Prochlorperazine have 9 things in common (in Unionpedia): Antiemetic, Antipsychotic, Central nervous system, Chlorpromazine, Dopamine antagonist, Dopamine receptor D2, Dystonia, Extrapyramidal symptoms, Parkinsonism.

Antiemetic
