Clozapine in the elderly

F R Frankenburg et al. J Geriatr Psychiatry Neurol. 1994 Apr-Jun.

Abstract

The authors reviewed the use of clozapine in eight patients over age 65 years with treatment-resistant psychoses. Six patients improved. Two patients became more confused. The authors suggest that clozapine be considered in treating elderly psychotic patients, and that its use need not be restricted to schizophrenic patients.
