Abstract
Background
The side effect of Parkinsonism due to chlorpromazine emerged three years after its approval for public use, leading to the understanding that conventional anti-psychotics could induce various Extrapyramidal Symptoms (EPS). Drug-Induced Parkinsonism (DIP) generally surfaces within days to weeks, but rare instances present delayed onset.
Case Presentation
We present a case involving a 28-year-old male exhibiting drug-induced Parkinsonism triggered by a chlorpromazine-based regimen, three months following its initiation. Subsequent symptom relief was observed post-discontinuation.
