We know that smoking lowers clozapine concentrations.
However, our new work suggests that constipation and seizures occur at lower clozapine concentrations in smokers than in non-smokers.

A good day at @uclh @UCLBrainScience, for a 20 week review of #Ambroxol drugs trial 💊
I positively encourage and support people impacted by #Parkinsons to take part in #research 👩🏽🔬🔬
There are so many online surveys, questionnaires, drugs trials, physical assessments, etc, and research really can be fun, interesting, informative and more...
Researchers need people with Parkinson's, and people with Parkinson's need researchers. Together we can find better treatments, and eventually a cure 🌷
