The Clozapine REMS (Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy) program is a safety program created by the FDA to help reduce the risk of serious side effects associated with using clozapine, an antipsychotic medication used to treat schizophrenia. The program includes monitoring for certain adverse reactions, requiring prescribers and pharmacies to be enrolled in the program prior to prescribing or dispensing clozapine, and providing patient education regarding potential risks associated with taking clozapine.
