There is currently limited knowledge about which side‐effects patients will experience from clozapine. In this article, the authors describe two cases of patients who developed myocarditis during the initiation period of clozapine. The cases also illustrate the difficulty in diagnosing clozapine‐induced myocarditis due to the non‐specific nature of the symptoms.
