Clozapine is the most effective of all antipsychotic medications. And for many people with schizophrenia, clozapine is a game-changing treatment that makes it possible to go back to school, go back to work, live independently, or be in relationships.

It does have side effects (all medicines do), but many of them can be prevented or minimized.

Sedation is one of the most common of clozapine’s side effects, and this lecture talks possible causes and potential treatments for clozapine-associated sedation.

Here, we look at the prevalence of clozapine-associated sedation, discuss pharmacological actions of clozapine that may contribute to sedation, and survey some treatment strategies to reduce or eliminate this side effect.

If you’d like to learn more about clozapine, feel free to register for one of our free online continuing medical education events. The schedule of upcoming events is located at [[ Ссылка ]]([ Ссылка ])

The lecture is part of the SZconsult learning community, which meets every Tuesday at noon, eastern time. It’s a free education + consultation service of Northeast Ohio Medical University. For more information send an email to SZconsult@neomed.edu
