Hepatic failure, hyperammonaemic encephalopathy, thrombocytopenia.
Applies to the Medication Side Effects / Iatrogenic Toxicity / QT Risk group.
Temporal association with antipsychotic initiation, dose change, or depot timing.
Applies to the Medication Side Effects / Iatrogenic Toxicity / QT Risk group.
Constipation with clozapine is a red flag, not a nuisance side effect Clozapine constipation and myocarditis are high-risk problems Escalate early, review bowels deliberately, maintain active surveillance during early titration Early activation is a common misread Clinical toxicity can occur even when history suggests a "usual dose" Check ammonia if unexplained confusion develops on valproate
Applies to the Medication Side Effects / Iatrogenic Toxicity / QT Risk group.
ECG / QT assessment, Urea, electrolytes, creatinine, Inflammatory markers (CRP/ESR), Creatine kinase
