1. What is Clozapine Hasco and what is it used for

The active substance of Clozapine Hasco is clozapine, which belongs to a group of medications called antipsychotics (medications used to treat specific mental disorders, such as psychoses). Clozapine Hasco is used to treat patients with schizophrenia who do not respond to treatment with other medications. Schizophrenia is a mental disorder that causes disturbances in thinking, emotions, and behavior. The use of Clozapine Hasco is recommended only for the treatment of patients who have already taken at least two different antipsychotic medications, including one from the group of new atypical antipsychotic medications indicated for the treatment of schizophrenia, and did not respond to these medications or experienced severe side effects that could not be managed. Clozapine Hasco 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 medications.

2. Important information before taking Clozapine Hasco

When Not to Take Clozapine Hasco

• if the patient has been diagnosed with an allergy (hypersensitivity) to clozapine or any of the other ingredients of this medication (listed in section 6),
• if it is not possible to perform regular blood tests on the patient,
• if the patient has ever had a low white blood cell count in the blood (e.g., leukopenia or agranulocytosis), especially if it was caused by taking medications, except in cases of low white blood cell count in the blood related to previous chemotherapy,

2 / 11

The Patient Should Immediately Tell Their Doctor Before Taking the Next Dose of Clozapine Hasco if They:

Experience:

• symptoms of a cold, fever, flu-like symptoms, sore throat, or any infection. The doctor may recommend urgent blood tests to check if these symptoms are related to the medication,
• sudden increased body temperature, muscle stiffness that can lead to loss of consciousness (symptoms of malignant neuroleptic syndrome), which can be a severe side effect requiring immediate treatment,
• experience rapid and irregular heartbeat, even at rest, palpitations, difficulty breathing, chest pain, or unexplained fatigue. The doctor will check the patient's heart function and, if necessary, refer them to a cardiologist immediately,
• experience nausea, vomiting, and (or) loss of appetite. The doctor will check the patient's liver function,
• experience constipation, abdominal pain, abdominal tenderness, fever, bloating, and (or) bloody diarrhea. A consultation with the doctor is necessary.

Medical Check-Ups and Blood Tests

Before starting treatment with Clozapine Hasco, the doctor will conduct an interview and order blood tests to confirm a normal white blood cell count. This is important because the patient's body needs white blood cells to fight infections.

Regular Blood Tests Must be Performed Before Starting Treatment, During Treatment, and After Stopping Treatment with Clozapine Hasco.

• The doctor will inform the patient exactly when and where to have the blood tests done. Clozapine Hasco can only be taken if the patient has a normal white blood cell count.
• Clozapine Hasco 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.
• Blood tests should be performed once a week for the first 18 weeks of treatment. Then, blood tests should be performed at least once a month.
• If the patient's white blood cell count decreases, treatment with Clozapine Hasco should be stopped immediately. The white blood cell count should return to normal.
• Blood tests should be performed for another 4 weeks after stopping treatment with Clozapine Hasco. The doctor will also perform a medical examination before starting treatment with Clozapine Hasco. The doctor may order an electrocardiogram (ECG) to check the patient's heart function if necessary. If the patient has liver function disorders, regular liver function tests will be performed throughout the treatment with Clozapine Hasco. If the patient has high blood sugar levels (diabetes), the doctor may order regular blood sugar tests. Clozapine Hasco may cause changes in blood lipid levels. Clozapine Hasco may cause weight gain. The doctor may monitor the patient's weight and blood lipid levels.

If the patient currently experiences or Clozapine Hasco causes the patient to experience dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting, they should change positions carefully, as these symptoms can increase the risk of falls. If the patient needs to undergo surgery or is immobilized for an extended period, they should discuss the use of Clozapine Hasco with their doctor. There is a risk of thrombosis (blood clotting in the veins).

Children and Adolescents Under 16 Years

Clozapine Hasco should not be used in patients under 16 years of age, as there is limited data on the use of this medication in this age group.

Elderly Patients (60 Years and Older)

In elderly patients (60 years and older), the following side effects may occur more frequently during treatment with Clozapine Hasco: fainting or lightheadedness when changing positions, dizziness, rapid heartbeat, difficulty urinating, and constipation. The patient should inform their doctor if they have a condition called dementia.

Clozapine Hasco and Other Medications

The patient should inform their doctor or pharmacist about all medications they are currently taking, have recently taken, or plan to take. It may be necessary to change the dosage of medications or change medications.

Clozapine Hasco Should Not be Taken with Medications that Suppress Normal Bone Marrow Function and (or) Reduce the Number of White Blood Cells Produced by the Body, Such as:

• carbamazepine, a medication used to treat epilepsy;
• certain antibiotics: chloramphenicol, sulfonamides, such as co-trimoxazole;
• certain pain medications: pyrazolone derivatives, such as phenylbutazone or metamizole;
• penicillamine, a medication used to treat rheumatoid arthritis;
• cytotoxic agents, medications used in chemotherapy;
• antipsychotic medications in the form of long-acting injections (depot). These medications increase the risk of developing agranulocytosis (lack of white blood cells).

Taking Clozapine Hasco with Other Medications May Affect the Action of Clozapine Hasco and (or) Other Medications. The Patient Should Inform Their Doctor if They Plan to Take, Are Taking (Even if the Treatment is Ending), or Have Recently Stopped Taking:

• medications used to treat depression, such as lithium, fluvoxamine, tricyclic antidepressants, MAO inhibitors, citalopram, paroxetine, fluoxetine, and sertraline
• other antipsychotic medications used to treat mental illnesses, such as perazine
• benzodiazepines and other medications used to treat anxiety and sleep disorders
• narcotics and other medications that may affect breathing
• medications used to treat epilepsy, such as phenytoin and valproic acid
• medications used to treat high and low blood pressure (such as adrenaline and noradrenaline)
• warfarin, a medication used to prevent blood clots
• antihistamine medications, medications used to treat colds or allergies, such as hay fever
• anticholinergic medications, used to relieve stomach cramps and motion sickness
• medications used to treat Parkinson's disease
• digoxin, a medication used to treat heart conditions
• medications used to treat rapid or irregular heartbeat
• certain medications used to treat stomach ulcers, such as omeprazole or cimetidine
• certain antibiotics, such as erythromycin and rifampicin
• certain medications used to treat fungal infections (such as ketoconazole) or viral infections (such as protease inhibitors used to treat HIV infection)
• atropine, a medication that may be an ingredient in some eye drops, cold preparations, and cough medicines
• adrenaline, a medication used in emergency situations
• hormonal contraceptives (birth control pills) The above list is not exhaustive. The doctor or pharmacist has more information about medications that should be used with caution with Clozapine Hasco or should be avoided during treatment with Clozapine Hasco. The patient should ask them about it.

Clozapine Hasco with Food and Drink

The patient should not drink alcohol while taking Clozapine Hasco. The patient should inform their doctor if they smoke and how often they drink beverages containing caffeine (coffee, tea, cola). Sudden changes in smoking or caffeine consumption habits can also change the effects of Clozapine Hasco.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

If the patient is pregnant or breastfeeding, thinks they may be pregnant, or plans to have a child, they should consult their doctor before taking this medication. The doctor will discuss the benefits and possible risks of taking the medication during pregnancy. The patient should immediately inform their doctor if they become pregnant while taking Clozapine Hasco. In newborns of mothers who took antipsychotic medications during the last trimester of pregnancy (the last three months of their pregnancy), the following symptoms may occur: trembling, stiffness, and (or) muscle weakness, drowsiness, agitation, feeding problems, and breathing difficulties. If the child develops these symptoms, the patient should contact their doctor. Some women taking antipsychotic medications have irregular menstrual periods or do not have them at all. When switching from another medication to Clozapine Hasco, menstrual periods may return. Therefore, women of childbearing age should use effective contraception. The patient should not breastfeed while taking Clozapine Hasco. Clozapine, the active substance of Clozapine Hasco, may pass into breast milk and affect the baby.

Driving and Operating Machines

Clozapine Hasco may cause drowsiness, dizziness, and seizures, especially during the initial treatment period. The patient should not drive vehicles or operate machines if they experience these symptoms.

Clozapine Hasco Contains Lactose Monohydrate

If the patient has previously been diagnosed with an intolerance to some sugars, they should contact their doctor before taking the medication.

3. How to Take Clozapine Hasco

This medication should always be taken as directed by the doctor. In case of doubts, the patient should consult their doctor or pharmacist. To minimize the risk of low blood pressure, seizures, and drowsiness, it is necessary for the doctor to gradually increase the dosage of the medication. It is very important not to change the dosage or stop taking Clozapine Hasco without consulting the doctor first. The patient should continue treatment for as long as the doctor recommends. In the case of patients aged 60 or older, the doctor may start treatment with a lower dosage and gradually increase it, as it is more likely that they will experience certain side effects (see section 2, "Important information before taking Clozapine Hasco"). If the prescribed dosage cannot be achieved with this strength of the medication, another strength of the medication is available on the market that will allow the required dosage to be achieved.

Treatment of Schizophrenia

The recommended initial dosage 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. The tablet should be swallowed with water. If the patient tolerates the treatment well, the doctor may then gradually increase the daily dosage by 25 mg to 50 mg over 2-3 weeks to achieve a target dosage of 300 mg per day. Then, if necessary, the daily dosage can be further increased by 50 mg to 100 mg at intervals of 3 to 4 days or preferably once a week. The effective daily dosage is usually between 200 mg and 450 mg, divided into several single doses. Some patients may need higher dosages. The maximum daily dosage is 900 mg. At dosages above 450 mg per day, it is possible to exacerbate some side effects (in particular, seizures). The patient should always take the smallest effective dosage of the medication. Most patients take part of the dosage in the morning and part in the evening. The doctor will explain exactly how to divide the daily dosage. If the daily dosage is only 200 mg, the patient can take it as a single dose in the evening. If the patient has been taking Clozapine Hasco for some time with good results, the doctor may try to reduce the dosage. The patient should take Clozapine Hasco for at least 6 months.

Treatment of Severe Thought, Emotional, and Behavioral Disorders in Patients with Parkinson's Disease

The recommended initial dosage is 12.5 mg (half a 25 mg tablet) in the evening. The tablet should be swallowed with water. Then, the doctor will gradually increase the dosage by 12.5 mg, no faster than twice a week, to achieve a maximum dosage of 50 mg per day by the end of the second week. If the patient experiences fainting, lightheadedness, or confusion, the dosage increase should be delayed or suspended. To avoid these symptoms, the patient's blood pressure should be monitored during the first weeks of treatment. The effective daily dosage is usually 25 mg to 37.5 mg, taken as a single dose in the evening. The use of dosages higher than 50 mg per day should only be done in exceptional cases. The maximum daily dosage is 100 mg. The patient should always take the smallest effective dosage of the medication. The tablet can be divided into equal doses.

Overdose of Clozapine Hasco

In case of taking a higher dosage than recommended or taking the medication by another person, the patient should immediately contact their doctor or go to the nearest hospital. Symptoms of overdose include: drowsiness, fatigue, lack of energy, loss of consciousness, coma, confusion (disorientation), hallucinations, agitation, delirium, muscle stiffness, tremors, seizures, excessive salivation, dilated pupils, blurred vision, low blood pressure, shock, rapid or irregular heartbeat, shallow breathing or difficulty breathing.

Missed Dose of Clozapine Hasco

If the patient misses a dose, they should take it as soon as possible. However, they should not take the medication if it is almost time for the next dose. In this case, they should take the next dose at the usual time. The patient should not take a double dose to make up for the missed dose. If the patient forgets to take the medication for 48 hours or more, they should immediately contact their doctor.

Stopping Treatment with Clozapine Hasco

The patient should not stop taking Clozapine Hasco without consulting their doctor, as withdrawal reactions may occur. These include: sweating, headache, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. If the patient experiences any of these symptoms, they should immediately inform their doctor. After these symptoms, more severe side effects may occur if the patient does not receive immediate treatment. The symptoms of the disease may return. To stop treatment, it is recommended to gradually reduce the dosage by 12.5 mg over one to two weeks. If it is necessary to stop treatment with Clozapine Hasco immediately, the patient should consult their doctor. If the doctor decides to restart treatment with Clozapine Hasco and the patient has taken the last dose of Clozapine Hasco more than two days ago, the initial dosage will be 12.5 mg. In case of any further doubts about taking this medication, the patient should consult their doctor or pharmacist.
