1. What is Clopizam and what is it used for

The active substance of Clopizam is clozapine, which belongs to a group of medicines called antipsychotics (neuroleptics). These are medicines used to treat specific mental disorders, such as psychoses.

Clopizam is used to treat patients with schizophrenia who do not respond to treatment with other medicines.

Schizophrenia is a mental illness that causes disorders of thought, emotion, and behavior.

Clopizam is given only to patients who have already taken at least two different antipsychotic medicines, including one from the group of new atypical antipsychotic medicines, indicated for the treatment of schizophrenia and did not respond to these medicines or experienced severe side effects that did not respond to treatment.

Indication only for 25 mg, 50 mg, and 100 mg strengths

Clopizam is also used to treat severe thought, emotional, and behavioral disorders in patients with Parkinson's disease who do not respond to treatment with other medicines.

2. Important information before taking Clopizam

Control tests and blood tests

Before starting this medicine, the doctor will conduct an interview with the patient and order blood tests to confirm that the white blood cell count is normal. This is important because white blood cells are necessary to fight infections.

It is necessary to perform regular blood tests before starting treatment, during treatment, and after stopping treatment with Clopizam.

  • -The doctor will inform the patient when and where to have the tests done. Clopizam can only be taken if the patient has a normal white blood cell count.
  • This medicine may cause a significant decrease in the number of white blood cells in the blood (agranulocytosis). Only regular blood tests can confirm whether the patient is at risk of developing agranulocytosis.
  • During the first 18 weeks of treatment, blood tests should be performed once a week. Then, tests should be performed at least once a month.
  • If a decrease in white blood cell count occurs, Clopizam treatment should be stopped immediately. The white blood cell count should return to normal.
  • Blood tests should be performed for 4 weeks after stopping Clopizam treatment.

Before starting treatment, the doctor will also perform a physical examination of the patient. The doctor may order an electrocardiogram (ECG) to check heart function if necessary or if the patient has specific concerns.

If the patient has liver function disorders, regular liver function tests will be performed throughout the treatment period.

If the patient has high blood sugar levels (diabetes), the doctor may order regular blood sugar tests.

This medicine may cause changes in blood lipid levels and weight gain. The doctor may monitor the patient's weight and blood lipid levels.

If the patient currently experiences or if this medicine causes a feeling of "emptiness" in the head, dizziness, or fainting, they should get up carefully from a sitting or lying position, as these symptoms can increase the risk of falls.

Clopizam with food, drink, and alcohol

Do not drink alcohol while taking Clopizam.

Tell your doctor if you smoke and inform your doctor how often you drink caffeinated beverages (coffee, tea, cola). Sudden changes in smoking or caffeinated beverage consumption habits can also change the effect of this medicine.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

If you are pregnant, think you may be pregnant, or plan to have a baby, consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Your doctor will inform you about the benefits and potential risks of taking this medicine during pregnancy. If you become pregnant during Clopizam treatment, tell your doctor immediately.

In newborns whose mothers took clozapine in the last trimester of pregnancy (the last three months of pregnancy), the following symptoms may occur: trembling, stiffness, and (or) muscle weakness, drowsiness, agitation, breathing difficulties, and feeding difficulties. If your child experiences any of these symptoms, contact your doctor.

In some women taking medicines for mental illnesses, irregular periods or absence of periods may occur. When switching from another medicine to Clopizam, normal menstruation may return. Therefore, women of childbearing age should use effective contraception.

Do not breastfeed while taking this medicine. Clozapine, the active substance of Clopizam, may pass into breast milk and affect the baby.

Driving and using machines

This medicine may cause fatigue, drowsiness, and seizures, especially during the initial treatment period. Do not drive or operate machinery if you experience these symptoms.

Clopizam contains lactose

Clopizam contains lactose. If you have been diagnosed with an intolerance to some sugars, consult your doctor before taking Clopizam.

3. How to take Clopizam

To minimize the risk of low blood pressure, seizures, and drowsiness, your doctor will recommend gradual dose escalation. This medicine should always be taken as directed by your doctor.

If you have any doubts, consult your doctor or pharmacist.

It is very important not to change the dose or stop taking this medicine without consulting your doctor first. Continue treatment for as long as your doctor recommends. For patients 60 years or older, the doctor may start treatment with a lower dose and increase it more slowly, as this age group is at increased risk of certain side effects (see section 2).

If the recommended dose cannot be achieved with a tablet of a given strength, tablets of a different strength are available.

25 mg tablets: The tablet can be divided into two equal doses.

100 mg tablets: The tablet can be divided into two equal doses.

200 mg tablets: The dividing line on the tablet only facilitates breaking it, making it easier to swallow, and not dividing it into equal doses.

Treatment of schizophrenia

The usual starting dose is 12.5 mg (half a 25 mg tablet) once or twice a day on the first day, and then 25 mg once or twice a day on the second day. Swallow the tablet with water. If the medicine is well tolerated, the doctor will then recommend gradual dose escalation to 300 mg per day over 2-3 weeks, to achieve a daily dose of 200-450 mg, divided into several doses. In some patients, higher doses may be necessary. The maximum daily dose is 900 mg. If the daily dose exceeds 450 mg, the risk of side effects (especially seizures) may increase. The doctor will always recommend the smallest effective dose for the patient. Most patients take part of the dose in the morning and part in the evening. The doctor will explain how to divide the daily dose. If the daily dose is 200 mg, it can be taken as a single dose in the evening. If the patient has been taking Clopizam for some time with good results, the doctor may try to reduce the dose. This medicine should be taken for at least 6 months.

Treatment of severe thought disorders in patients with Parkinson's disease - only for 25 mg, 50 mg, and 100 mg strengths

The usual starting dose is 12.5 mg (half a 25 mg tablet), taken in the evening. Swallow the tablet with water. The doctor will then recommend gradual dose escalation by 12.5 mg, no more than twice a week, to achieve a maximum dose of 50 mg per day by the end of the second week. If the patient experiences fainting, feeling "empty" in the head, or confusion, the doctor will stop or delay dose escalation. To avoid these symptoms, the doctor will recommend blood pressure monitoring in the first weeks of treatment.

The effective daily dose is usually between 25 mg and 37.5 mg, taken as a single dose in the evening. Doses above 50 mg per day will only be recommended by the doctor in exceptional cases. The maximum daily dose is 100 mg. The doctor will always recommend the smallest effective dose for the patient.

Overdose of Clopizam

If the patient has taken too many tablets or someone else has taken any number of tablets, contact a doctor or call emergency services immediately.

Overdose symptoms: drowsiness, fatigue, lack of energy, coma, confusion (disorientation), hallucinations, agitation, incoherent speech, stiffness of limbs, trembling of hands, seizures, excessive salivation, dilated pupils, blurred vision, low blood pressure, shock, rapid or irregular heart rhythm, shallow breathing, or difficulty breathing.

Missed dose of Clopizam

If a dose is missed, take it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, do not take the missed dose. Do not take a double dose to make up for the missed dose.

If the patient forgets to take Clopizam for 48 hours or more, contact a doctor immediately.

Stopping Clopizam treatment

Do not stop taking Clopizam without consulting your doctor, as withdrawal symptoms may occur. These include: excessive sweating, headache, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.

If the patient experiences any of these symptoms, they should tell their doctor immediately.

After these symptoms, more severe side effects may occur if the patient does not receive immediate treatment. The symptoms of the underlying disease may return. It is recommended to gradually reduce the dose by 12.5 mg over one to two weeks if it is necessary to stop the medicine. The doctor will inform the patient how to reduce the daily dose. If it is necessary to stop Clopizam treatment immediately, the doctor will monitor the patient's condition. If the doctor decides to restart clozapine treatment and the patient has taken the last dose of Clopizam more than two days ago, the starting dose will be 12.5 mg.

If you have any further doubts about taking this medicine, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
