Clozapine is a second-generation antipsychotic often reserved for use in treatment-resistant schizophrenia. Clozapine is associated with severe neutropenia (previously called agranulocytosis), which requires stringent laboratory monitoring and reporting to an online Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) website. Despite its unique effectiveness, compliance to laboratory monitoring requirements and its substantial adverse effect profile may limit clozapine usage.
