Abstract:

Acute pancreatitis is a rare complication of clozapine use. While previous case reports have described pancreatitis from long-term use of clozapine, we present a case of pancreatitis from an acute overdose of clozapine in a young male patient. The patient improved with supportive treatment and transferred to a psychiatric institution subsequently. While the pathophysiology of antipsychotic -induced pancreatitis remains unclear, the effect of the drugs on serotonin receptors may be an important factor in the development of this disease.
