Abstract

Clozapine is an atypical antipsychotic drug that is useful in treatment-resistant psychosis. Its most common adverse effects are agranulocytosis, epileptic seizures and pulmonary embolism. Pulmonary embolism seems to occur usually in the first 3 months of clozapine treatment. In this report, we present a case with deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism as a complication of clozapine.
