Olanzapine-induced neutropenia after clozapine-induced neutropenia

Lancet. 1999 Aug 14;354(9178):567. doi: 10.1016/S0140-6736(99)00957-5.

Abstract

Olanzapine is a new antipsychotic drug, pharmacodynamically similar to clozapine, but putatively devoid of haematological iatrogenicity. We report a case of relapse of previously clozapine-induced neutropenia after olanzapine treatment.
