Clozapine is an atypical antipsychotic used for the treatment of schizophrenia resistant to other therapies and for reducing the risk of suicidal behavior in patients with psychotic disorders. It works by modulating the activity of neurotransmitters in the brain.
The medication is taken orally, as directed by a doctor, usually once or twice daily. It is important for patients to undergo regular blood tests to monitor white blood cell counts due to the risk of agranulocytosis.
Patients should be aware of potential side effects, such as drowsiness, dizziness, or weight gain. It is important to inform the doctor of any unusual symptoms.
Common side effects include drowsiness, dizziness, and weight gain. In rare cases, severe reactions such as agranulocytosis, seizures, or myocarditis may occur. Patients should be informed of these risks before use.
