Question

Extra-pyramidal symptoms are side effects of

A.

Antipsychotics

B.

Antimanics

C.

Antidepressants

D.

Anti-Parkinsonian agents

Correct option is B


Ans (a)
Sol. Explanation:
· Extra-pyramidal symptoms (EPS) are motor control side effects that include symptoms like tremors, rigidity, and bradykinesia (slowness of movement). These symptoms are most commonly associated with antipsychotic medications, which block dopamine receptors in the brain.
· Antimanics and antidepressants do not typically cause extra-pyramidal symptoms. Antidepressants are more commonly associated with other side effects like nausea or sexual dysfunction.
· Anti-Parkinsonian agents are used to treat Parkinson's disease and may actually help alleviate EPS rather than cause them, as they work to increase dopamine activity in the brain.
