How It Works

Clozapine works by balancing neurotransmitters in the brain, particularly dopamine and serotonin. By stabilizing these chemical signals, it helps improve mood, reduce psychotic symptoms, and lower the risk of suicidal thoughts in high-risk patients.

Key Benefits

Clozaril is highly effective for individuals who do not improve with standard antipsychotic medications. It can significantly reduce hallucinations, stabilize mood, improve thinking, and lessen the risk of severe suicidal behavior.

How to Use

Clozaril Tablets should be taken exactly as prescribed by a psychiatrist. The dose is adjusted gradually to minimize side effects. Regular follow-ups and mandatory blood tests are required throughout treatment.

Precautions

Regular blood monitoring is essential due to the risk of low white blood cell count. Patients with heart disease, seizure disorders, liver or kidney issues should use this medication with caution.
