Abstract
Schizophrenic inpatients [15] were treated in a double-blind comparison study of clozapine vs. chlorpromazine. Clozapine appeared to be at least as effective as chlorpromazine without producing any extrapyramidal reactions. Although bone marrow toxicity associated with clozapine has led to the drug''s withdrawal from clinical use, data from studies of clozapine demonstrate that a drug can be an effective antipsychotic without producing neurologic reactions.
