Adverse drug reaction (ADR) databases suggest that is the third most toxic in United States (US), it produces four times higher pneumonia mortality than agranulocytosis or myocarditis. For trough steady-state serum concentrations, therapeutic reference range narrow, from 350 to 600 ng/mL with potential for toxicity ADRs as concentrations increase....

Neutrophil–lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet–lymphocyte (PLR), monocyte–lymphocyte (MLR) and systemic immune-inflammation index (SII index) are increasingly used as indicators of inflammation in different conditions, including schizophrenia. However, their relationship with negative symptoms, anhedonia, is largely unknown. Included were 200 patients schizophrenia 134 healthy controls (HC), assessed for physical anhedonia (PA), using the Revised Physical Anhedonia Scale (RPAS), social (SA) by...
A recent article in this journal presented a US perspective regarding the modernization of clozapine prescription and proposed an escape from long shadow cast by agranulocytosis.Here, international group collaborators discusses point view complementary to focusing on worldwide outcomes usage that may be uneven terms frequency adverse drug reactions.Studies Scandinavian national registries (Finland Denmark) did not find increased mortality patients or any clear evidence alleged toxicity...

Extrapyramidal symptoms (EPSs) are common adverse effects of antipsychotics. The development acute EPSs could depend on the activity dopaminergic system and its gene variants. aim this study was to determine association between type 2 receptor (DRD2) dopamine transporter (SLC6A3) catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) polymorphisms in 240 male schizophrenic patients treated with haloperidol (15-mg/d) over a period weeks. Acute were assessed Simpson-Angus Scale. Three polymorphisms, DRD2 Taq1A,...
