Abstract
Clozapine is an atypical antipsychotic drug with relatively weak D2 and D1 blocking properties and strong 5HT and cholinergic blockade. Its potency as an antipsychotic drug is surprising considering the ratio of receptor blockade and it represents a true advance in treatment of schizophrenia. The efficacy of clozapine calls for revision of the seemingly over simplistic dopamine theory of schizophrenia. Now clozapine is available in the UK to consultant psychiatrists who register with the Clozaril Patient Monitoring Service (CPMS).
