Body weight gain in clozapine‐treated patients: Is norclozapine the culprit?
The antipsychotic drug clozapine is associated with weight gain. The proposed mechanisms include blocking of serotonin (5‐HT2a/2c), dopamine (D2) and histamine (H1) receptors. Clozapine is metabolized by cytochrome P450 1A2 (CYP1A2) to norclozapine, a metabolite with more 5‐HT2c‐receptor and less H1 blocking capacity.
