The affinities of 11 drugs for both dopamine D2 and 5-hydroxytryptamine3 (5-HT3) receptor sites were determined in brain membranes. The five "traditional" antiemetics (chlorpromazine, prochlorperazine, droperidol, fluphenazine, and domperidone) displayed high affinity (less than 20 nM) for dopamine D2 receptors

The Food and Drug Administration issued a black box warning regarding the use of droperidol and the potential for torsade de pointes. The primary objective of this retrospective study was to determine if low-dose (0.625 mg) droperidol administration was associated
