Serious risks include neuroleptic malignant syndrome, tardive dyskinesia, seizures, agranulocytosis, and myocarditis.

Who should not use Melneurin?+
Melneurin is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to melperone hydrochloride or any component of the formulation. Caution is advised for individuals with severe cardiovascular disease, uncontrolled epilepsy, or a history of neuroleptic malignant syndrome.
