Priapismo asociado con el uso de clozapina. Reporte de caso

We describe a 54 year-old patient with priapism. The affinity of this drug to alpha-adrenergic receptors facilitates the presence of priapism, however the use of beta-blockers or anticholinergic agents in the initial management of priapism suggest that other systems are affected by the use of clozapine. The continuation of antipsychotics after priapism depends on the affinity of alpha-adrenergic receptors, clinical features, and previous treatments and the risk-benefit assessment of the use of these drugs.
