Clozapine lacks previous clinical efficacy when restarted after a period of discontinuation: A case series
1999
Abstract No data are available in the literature about clozapine clinical efficacy when the drug is administered to schizophrenic patients who relapsed after discontinuation of long-term clozapine treatment and who had previously been responsive to the drug. In this study, three chronic schizophrenic patients are presented, who, in spite of a good clinical efficacy, decided to stop long-term clozapine treatment. Soon after their relapse they were again treated with clozapine: follow-up of these patients showed that clozapine partially lost its clinical efficacy since all three patients got worse compared with their initial clinical response.
