title: [Informed consent requirement in treatment with clozapine according to section 1904 of the patient rights law?].
abstract: Clozapine-treatment of schizophrenic psychoses under observation of the producer's directions regarding indication, warnings, information of the patient and control-examinations is no measure which entails (according to section 1904 of German Civil Code-"Betreuungsrecht") the existing risk that the person concerned will die or suffer a serious or lasting health-injury. Therefore, in case of patient's inability to consent, the curator's approval after proper information is regarded to be sufficient in most cases of an intended treatment with clozapine. An approval by the Guardianship Court according to section 1904 should be applied for when--because of medical reasons after evaluating risks and benefits--clozapine-treatment is taken into consideration despite risks and contraindications according to the producer's informations.
