Background: Clozapine is used in the management of treatment-resistant schizophrenia. Although the reported adverse effects with clozapine are more, and the risk of clozapine discontinuation is present, few Indian studies have examined the correlates of clozapine discontinuation. Furthermore, there is a lack of consensus on alternative treatment after clozapine discontinuation.
