Psychiatrists’ views on clozapine prescribing in Ireland
Consultants are familiar with clozapine use and related guidelines. Dedicated staff and facilities for clozapine use is one identified structural change to enhance clozapine prescribing in Ireland. Tertiary service or clinical advice service would assist in clozapine rechallenge cases or in managing significant adverse events. More structured patient education regarding clozapine effectiveness and professional development programmes focused on managing side effects and rechallenge may promote clozapine use.
