Drug-Induced Tremor treatment in Cuernavaca

Drug-induced tremor is an involuntary, rhythmic, and repetitive movement of some part of the body—often the hands—that appears as an effect of the use of certain medications. It usually improves when the responsible treatment is adjusted.

How it presents: it is generally noticed when holding an object or maintaining a posture, and it can vary in intensity depending on the person and the medication involved.

When to discuss it with the doctor? If you notice a new tremor after starting a drug, it is worth mentioning it at your visit without stopping anything on your own, so that a professional can review the situation.

Which specialist evaluates it? The neurologist studies the characteristics of the tremor, and the internist, the geriatrician, or the pediatrician—depending on age—help review the underlying treatment. Raising it with whoever prescribed the medication is the first step toward finding the most suitable adjustment.
