Various medications have been implicated in the development of TD, including certain antiemetic agents. For example, the antiemetic metoclopramide, a dopamine antagonist, is strongly associated with the development of TD. Risk factors for metoclopramide-induced TD include old age, female sex, history of diabetes, and taking metoclopramide for ≥ 12 weeks.
