It was interesting to read the paper of Reid & Hughson(Bulletin,2003),Droperidol dropped;Consultants not consulted..etc,I also wonder if the abrupt withdrawal of the injectable procyclidine was mainly for commerical reasons. I think the NHS,BMA and Royal Colleges ought to be consulted before the withdrawal of any drug. Thanking you,

Yours sincerely

AK.Al-Sheikhli
