Talk:Droperidol

On Discontinued Use for Children
Droperidol use in Children has resulted in adverse reactions including dystonia and even death. Children's Hospital Boston no longer uses droperidol in treating children with nausea. I'd like to find a way to cite this, but don't have time at the moment to pour through the web search. Children probably don't need an "antipsychotic" either. I'd add a line about hospitals discontinuing use in children right after the line "frequently used in the treatment of." Also, how do you back up a claim like "frequently used"? It should be cited, right?

Special care should be taken with Pharmacology pages to protect against the interest of Pharmaceutical companies; a large interest to portray their drugs in a positive light.

Wikipedia should take care to caution readers about taking life/death action based on these pages.

Adverse Effects vs Side Effects
The term "side effects" is used here. This is an ambiguous term, as some "side effects" may be beneficial and some may be harmful.

Given the adverse effects of droperidol (black box warning), the section title would be more accurately titled, "Adverse Effects"
