Suggest Therapy For Schizophrenia

Hi, my brother has schizophrenia and has been on clozapine for several years. He has many health problems, and today he is being released from the hospital for TURP procedure, for the second time in the last few years. It was accompanied by urinary retention, urinary infection. Do you think men with prostate enlargement should be on clozapine?

Hii

Clozapine does not produce any prostate related problems.

so continue to take it for better control.

As he already had done TURP, so no need to worry.
Thank you.
