Raj Mohan has recently been on an increased regime of anti-psychotics for Schizophrenia. The following complications are associated with combined use of more than one anti-psychotic, EXCEPT:

A
Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome
B
Renal Tubular Necrosis
C
Paralytic illeus
D
QTc Prolongation in ECG
High-Yield Explanation
Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome, Paralytic illeus, QTc Prolongation in ECG, Seizures (GTC) and Sudden death from Arrythmias are recognised complications of polydrug therapy in psychosis. Most of the side effects are a result of cumulative side effects of individual drugs. Renal toxicity is not a common side effect of antipsychotics and hence the option can be eliminated.
