Title of issue:

Clozapine Induced Myocarditis: a case report strony 58 - 61

Publication year:

2024

Bibliographic description:

Clozapine is commonly used in resistant schizophrenia, but its use has been limited because of side effects. Myocarditis is one of the rare and potentially fatal side effects that can occur at any time after initiation of treatment but typically occurs within 2 to 3 weeks after initiation treatment with clozapine. We report the case of a 28-year-old patient who developed myocarditis after initiation treatment with clozapine, and a successful re-challenge of starting Clozapine. The physician should be cautious during the initiation of rapid clozapine titration early in treatment and follow the guidelines of close monitoring with laboratory investigation. This allows the early detection of myocarditis and reduces the risk of fatal mortality.
