The findings show how the application of a structured dietary, clinical and therapeutic monitoring program in psychiatric care facilities could allow the safe and effective long-term cardiometabolic and hematological management of clozapine.

Although its acute and chronic side effects are notorious, its safety management is feasible and broadens its potential practical application.
