Abstract
►Antipsychotic drugs induce extrapyramidal syndromes (EPS) in schizophrenic patients. ►Anticholinergics alleviate EPS but cause severe adverse reactions. ►Theophylline increases the efficacy of anticholinergics to alleviate EPS. ►Drug-induced EPS could be treated with low doses of theophylline and anticholinergics.
