Treatment of NMS
 Dopamine antagonists should be discontinued immediately in patients suspected of NMS. Like SS, the mainstay treatment of NMS is supportive care, which includes hydration via IV fluids, resolution of abnormal electrolytes, external cooling measures for severe hyperthermia, and management of end organ complications. Benzodiazepines such as lorazepam 1–2 mg IV every 4–6 hours can be considered in milder cases of NMS.
