Abstract
Although Lansoprazole, a proton pump inhibitor, is quite safe, there have been occasional reports of associated neurological dysfunction. We present a middle-aged man who developed bilateral asterixis within few hours of the first dose of lansoprazole. Interestingly, the jerks disappeared rapidly after discontinuation of lansoprazole.
