Abstract

We report a case of successful prophylactic treatment for psychiatric side effects of megadose glucocorticoid therapy by the administration of chlorpromazine. We review currently used prophylactic treatment strategies and discuss the rationale for adding neuroleptic treatment as an alternative to these strategies.
