Which if the following statements are FALSE regarding Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome (NMT)?
Combining Antipsychotics and Antidepressants increased the risk of NMS : This is true. Combining more than one antipsychotics and combining them with anti-depressants can cause NMS. Increase in Creatinine Phosphokinase (CPK) always indicates NMS : This is false because CPK can be increased in normal individuals or even an effect of intra muscular injection. Catatonic symptoms and autonomic dysfunction is a feature of NMS: Hyperpyrexia, Catatonia, Autonomic instability and Hyperpyrexia are features of NMS First use of Injection anti-psychotic in a risk factor: First use of injection, rapid increase or decrease of dose of anti-psychotics are risk factors.
