Caffeine may increase clozapine serum concentrations and exacerbate psychotic symptoms. The mechanism is unknown but may be related to competition for the same metabolic pathway. No specific intervention is necessary; however, if an interaction is suspected it is recommended that caffeine intake be avoided.
