摘要
Randomized controlled trials demonstrate a significant decline in hospital admissions and length of stay following the initiation of clozapine in individuals with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, along with an increase in quality-adjusted life years. The morbidity and mortality associated with clozapine-induced gastrointestinal hypomotility (CIGH) is greater than agranulocytosis. Despite this, we only have clozapine risk evaluation and mitigation strategies by the US Food and Drug Administration for white cell count monitoring, but none exists for CIGH. Our case highlights CIGH due to multiple factors and recommendations to prevent it and enhance clozapine compliance by conducting a thorough literature review.
