Abstract

An intoxication following an apparent overdose of clozapine (Leponex) and perazine (Taxilan) is reported. There was a wide range of variation in postmortem blood and tissue concentrations of clozapine, desmethyclozapine and perazine. Clozapine/norclozapine blood and tissue ratios and perazine-pill-fragments in the gastric content could be used as a sign of suspected acute clozapine and perazine overdose.
