What is Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome Overview about?

Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome (NMS) is a rare but serious reaction to antipsychotic medications, marked by muscle rigidity, hyperthermia, altered mental status, and autonomic instability. It is typically triggered by dopamine D2 receptor antagonists, with symptoms developing over 1-3 days. Immediate management involves stopping the offending drugs, providing supportive care, and may include pharmacological treatments like dantrolene and bromocriptine to reduce symptoms and restore dopaminergic activity.
