Abstract
The atypical antipsychotic clozapine is considered the primary agent for patients with treatment-resistant schizophrenia, and is also used at times in the treatment of other treatment-resistant psychotic disorders. Despite its efficacy, use of clozapine is often limited by the occurrence of significant adverse effects, smoking-induced increased metabolism, and drug-drug interactions due to co-administered medications to treat concurrent medical and psychiatric conditions.
