[Severe intoxication with leponex (author's transl)].
The clinical picture and the therapeutic management of a severe case of self-poisoning with Leponex (clozapin) are presented. In particular, the grave complications, their possible aetiology and the value of the administration of cortisone are discussed. Forced diuresis or haemodialysis are ineffective measures on account of the low serum concentrations of Leponex.
