Q

Clozapine clinical pearls

A

-Blood dyscrasia, metabolic risk, REMs program
-For refractory illness (suicidality), QTc, seizures, myocarditis, constipation, hypersialorrhea, worst for metabolic conditions (cholesterol/BP meds can help)
-Seizure risk inc with dose so might need a AED (mood stabilizer)
-If interrupted >48 hours, need to restart at lowest dose
-REMs: first 6 months: weekly draws, next 6 months: biweekly draws, 1 year: draws every month
-Should avoid benzos (lorazepam)
-orthostasis
-sedation

18
Q

Lumateperone clinical pearls

A

-no significant changes in metabolic parameters, not associated with inc in EPS
