Abstract

Clozapine, an atypical antipsychotic agent with few of the extrapyramidal side effects of other antipsychotic agents, was approved for use in the United States in 1989.

Presented here is a case of clozapine overdose treated successfully with supportive care in which agranulocytosis did not develop.
