> I was working with a young man who was being advised by his psychiatrist to change his medication to clozapine. He was reluctant to do so and his social worker gave him a promotional video on this drug to try and convince him of the benefits. What the doctors, social worker and video did not tell him was that in a 10 year study seven people experienced heart attacks (five fatal) whilst prescribed this drug and that two of these were under 30 years of age (his age group).Stan_the_man70,
I am most certainly disturbed not only by the fact that seven participants who were taking clozapine as part of a study experienced heart attacks (with five of those heart attacks being fatal and two of those heart attacks being in those who were under the age of 30), but also by the fact that the professionals who treated the young man that you were working with only showed the young man a promotional video about the medication without mentioning the findings of the study that you brought up. I'm interested in knowing, though, how many participants were involved in the clozapine study that you made reference to. Could you let me know more about this study?
Thanks,
