abstract：:Clozapine is an effective atypical antipsychotic that has high affinity for many neurotransmitter receptors. Among the adverse effects of clozapine, urinary incontinence is commonly found and is suggested to be caused by alpha-adrenergic blockade. We tested the hypothesis that clozapine-induced urinary incontinence is...
