Diffuse fasciculations induced by D-penicillamine

R S Pinals. J Rheumatol. 1983 Oct.

Abstract

Diffuse fasciculations developed in a patient with rheumatoid arthritis who had received D-penicillamine for 6 months. Fasciculations disappeared after discontinuation of the drug but recurred on rechallenge. This reversible neuromuscular irritability has been reported with gold therapy but not with D-penicillamine.
