Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome Information Service, Inc.

The Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome Information Service was founded in 1997 by the Malignant Hyperthermia Association of the United States (MHAUS) to advance awareness of neuroleptic malignant syndrome. This is a life-threatening neurological disorder often caused by an adverse reaction to neuroleptic or antipsychotic drugs. The goals of NMSIS include to develop and manage an NMS hotline, to encourage and support research to determine the cause of NMS, to develop a standard protocol for NMS, and increase awareness of this rare disorder.
