10 Causes of Dystonia
Cause #3: Antiemetics
Antiemetics are drugs that are helpful against nausea and vomiting. They can be used in the treatment of motion sickness, side effects of chemotherapy, gastroenteritis, and more. They have also been proven to be safe for pregnant women for the treatment of morning sickness and hyperemesis gravidarum.
Different types of antiemetics include 5-HT3 receptor antagonists, dopamine antagonists, cannabinoids, NK1 receptor antagonists, and H1 histamine receptor antagonists. Dystonia has been observed as a side effect of certain antiemetics in some patients.
