Antipsychotic drugs taken by thousands in the UK raise the risk of dangerous blood clots, scientists believe.
The latest research, published in the British Medical Journal, provides the strongest evidence yet of a link.People given antipsychotics in the past two years had a third greater risk of clots like deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
The Nottingham University study looking at 25,000 cases found the risk was even higher for the newer "atypical" antipsychotics.
