'''Clozapine''' (trade names '''Clozaril''' and '''FazaClo''') is an atypical antipsychotic medication that is used to treat severe schizophrenia. However, it only applies to those that have not responded to other medications (studies demonstrated that clozapine was more effective against treatment-resistant schizophrenia than other antipsychotics). Therefore, it is a drug of last resort (DoLR).

Therefore, it is a drug of last resort (DoLR).  


Clozapine may also be used to help reduce the risk of suicidal tendencies in people with schizophrenia or other disorders that can be similar, such as acute delirium, bipolar disorder, and extreme cases of anxiety. However, its only ''approved'' (on-label) use is in treatment-resistant schizophrenia.<ref> Novartis Corporation, Prescribing Guide For Clozapine (https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/drugsatfda_docs/label/2010/019758s062lbl.pdf)</ref> Clozapine was first synthesized in 1958 by Wander AG, a Swiss pharmaceutical company, based on the chemical structure of the tricyclic antidepressant imipramine.
