A fatal complication of clozapine - induced agranulocytosis
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 13 June 2014
Abstract
Clozapine (Clozaril-Sandoz) is an atypical anti-psychotic drug used for the treatment of resistant schizophrenia. We describe the first fatal outcome as a consequence of neutropenia in the British Isles attributed to the use of clozapine. This death occurred despite proper monitoring by the Clozaril Patient Monitoring Service (CPMS) and full clinical vigilance.
