摘要
Treatment-resistant schizophrenia is a major health problem in the UK with the majority of patients treated with clozapine. In up to 70% of cases there is only a partial response to clozapine with continuing refractory symptoms. We describe two cases in a UK mental health service where minocycline was found to be useful and well tolerated as an augmentation agent with clozapine in the improvement of previously resistant positive and negative symptoms.
