Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This is true. Clozapine requires frequent laboratory monitoring, including regular CBC (complete blood count) checks, to monitor for potential side effects such as agranulocytosis (a dangerous drop in white blood cells). Results must also be reported to a national registry in order to ensure safe use of the medication.
