Temblor inducido por medicamentos (farmacógeno)

Prevención:

Coméntele siempre al médico acerca de los medicamentos que toma. Tome los fármacos de venta libre con precaución, especialmente los que contienen estimulantes o un medicamento llamado teofilina.

La cafeína puede causar temblor y empeorar temblores causados por otros medicamentos; por lo tanto, evite las bebidas cafeinadas como el café, el té y las bebidas gaseosas. Igualmente, evite otros estimulantes si tiene un temblor.
