Abstract

Clozapine's use in the management of patients with treatment‐resistant schizophrenia has been limited by the occurrence of significant side effects. Also, because its elimination is primarily mediated by multiple drug‐metabolizing enzymes, the potential for drug–drug interaction is high. The following case described an elderly patient who developed dystonic reactions with concurrent administration of clozapine and cinacalcet, a calcimimetic used to treat patients with tertiary hyperparathyroidism, parathyroid carcinoma, and primary hyperparathyroidism.1
