Severe side effects of the most effective schizophrenia medication identified

Using data from the FinnGen study, the researchers found that clozapine-induced pneumonia and intestinal blockage, a severe form of gastrointestinal hypomotility, are much more common than previously reported. As many as 30% of schizophrenia patients on clozapine developed pneumonia, and 5% experienced intestinal blockage within 20 years of starting the medication.

That’s news for drug that is on the market for 55 years.
I’d say much uglier side effects for other meds.
