Abstract
Patients on clozapine require routine monitoring for symptoms and signs of myocarditis during the first three months of therapy. This adverse drug reaction is difficult to diagnose due the non-specific nature of the symptoms and signs. Alternate causes of myocarditis should be ruled out before attributing the myocarditis to clozapine.
