| * MNS is an adverse reaction to neuroleptic or antipsychotic drugs characterized by F E V E R:  | |||
| ** F =Temp>38    | |||
| ** E=Encephalopathy   | |||
| ** V=Vitals signs are unstable    | |||
| ** E =Elevated CPKs   | |||
| ** R=Rigidity muscles  | |||
| Drugs such as Haldol, Chlorpromazine, Metoclopramides, Lithium,and antiparkinson drugs Levodopa can cause MNS. | |||
| If MNS is coded, '''don't''' also code ''[[Other overdose]] - Accidental toxicity-other drugs'' as this would be redundant as it would not give us any additional data. | |||
