Article Synopsis
- A case study of a 29-year-old Japanese woman with schizophrenia on clozapine during pregnancy showed no complications until a late incident of premature rupture of membranes, which led to an emergency cesarean section.
- The study indicates that clozapine and its metabolite norclozapine were transferred to the fetus and may have impacted fetal heart rate; it advises careful monitoring of clozapine levels and fetal health during pregnancy for better outcomes.
