title: Nonketotic hyperglycemia associated with loxapine and amoxapine: case report.
abstract: A case of nonketotic hyperglycemic coma associated with the recent introduction of loxapine is presented. Drug discontinuation led to a return of normal fasting blood glucose. Later challenge with amoxapine was also associated with acute hyperglycemia. Their common metabolite, 7-OH amoxapine, is implicated.
