Main Article Content
Keywords
5-HT3 receptor antagonists, child
Abstract
A case of unusual reactions consisting of involuntary abnormal facial movements in a child following exposure to the 5-HT3 receptor antagonists for prophylaxis against chemotherapy-induced vomiting is presented. Potential mechanisms for these reactions are discussed.
