Clozapine COVID19

Hi all…hope I’m doing this posting correctly:

I have a relative who has been on Clozapine a little over thirty years. Yes, thirty-plus years. He’s done well including monthly blood work.

However, is there anything we should be aware of when it comes to COVID19 and Clozapine? As I mentioned, his blood work is always good, but because of his age (about seventy) and the potency of Clozapine, the family is doing what we can to make certain he stays safe.

He himself doesn’t fully understand the COVID19 situation and potency of Clozapine, not because of the schizophrenia but the mental retardation…he had a congenital brain infection. That’s why I’m here…am his primary caregiver. He’s a delight and a very fine, noble person as well.

Thank you all.

Hi …This is a forum for those with schizophrenia and psychosis. You may find some better answers here.

I’d like to encourage you to join our forum for Family and Caregivers that can be found at:

While this is a peer support forum for people with schizophrenia and other closely related psychotic disorders, the Family forum is specifically for people like yourself, who have a loved one they are concerned about.

Also, please let your loved one know about this forum as they may find it helpful.
