Summary
Clozapine was the first atypical antipsychotic approved for treatment of schizophrenia. Because it is associated with severe and potentially fatal side effects (agranulocytosis), its use is restricted to refractory schizophrenia, and monitoring during therapy is required. Clozapine therapy is associated with serum aminotransferase elevations and in rare instances has been linked to clinically apparent acute liver injury.
