I'm a girl!

ANyway, of course you need to ask your mothers doctor this- because not just her existing conditions, but other medications she's on as well might be a problem.
Also, clozaril seems to have some pretty dangerous side effects if the patient is not monitored WEEKLY. So your mother's doctor really needs to be involved in the administration and monitoring of this medication, and should know if it is safe or not. Not only should the dosage change constantly, but blood needs to be constantly monitored as well.

That being said, I did not find (on the Clozaril website prescribing info, you can read it here http://www.pharma.us.novartis.com/product/ pi/pdf/Clozaril.pdf) that any of her current illnesses should stop her from being able to be on it.
