Re: Clozapina or Clozapine - to Pamela

[Guest guest]

With clozapine there have not been any clinical trials with kids with autism

conducted. And it requires checking white blood cells. Also

risk of seizures at high doses. Also it is metobolized by the

p450 1A2 pathway which is the same as for zyprexa (olanzapine).

I would stay away from 1A2 drugs ...has tylenol reduced his

fevers? Tylenol is a 1A2 drug too.

You can look a p450 drug charts to see what I mean. Look at the

genelex web site.

A good book if I didn't say it is " Clinical Treatment of Autism "

by Dr. Hollander, you will have all the up to date

info on drugs and what is recommended. Dr. Hollander

does not recommend clozapine for the reasons given.
