title: Clozapine: dangerous orphan or neglected friend?
abstract: Evidence concerning the superior efficacy and effectiveness of clozapine  has not fully informed routine clinical practice. This is possibly because of  the perception that clozapine is a dangerous therapeutic agent. Clozapine use  may actually promote longevity, and earlier use of clozapine in adequate  dosages represents a neglected therapeutic opportunity in this age of  stagnated antipsychotic innovation.
