| Factor Description | Myelosuppression, also known as bone marrow suppression, is a decrease in bone marrow activity that leads to a decrease in the production of blood cells.

| Factor Description | Long QT syndrome is a heart signaling disorder that can cause a fast, chaotic heartbeat (arrhythmia).

| Recommended Action | |||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Management | Caution and close monitoring are advised when clozapine is used with other agents that have a well-known potential to cause agranulocytosis or otherwise suppress bone marrow function, such as antineoplastic, antimalarial, and antirheumatic agents. Caution is recommended if clozapine is used in combination with other drugs that can prolong the QT interval. Serum electrolytes, including potassium, magnesium and calcium, should be measured at baseline and periodically during treatment, and any abnormalities corrected prior to initiating clozapine. Clozapine treatment should be discontinued if the QTc interval exceeds 500 msec. Patients should be advised to seek prompt medical attention if they experience symptoms that could indicate the occurrence of torsade de pointes such as dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, palpitation, irregular heart rhythm, shortness of breath, or syncope. | ||||||||
