kloza

Kloza 100mg Tablet is a medication used to treat schizophrenia by addressing its core symptoms—hallucinations and delusions. It belongs to atypical antipsychotics, working by blocking certain receptors for neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin. This helps in reducing unwanted effects and has a positive impact on other receptors, contributing to its effectiveness. Essentially, clozapine helps balance brain chemicals to alleviate symptoms of schizophrenia.

Clozapine works by blocking specific receptors for neurotransmitters in the brain, aiding in reducing symptoms of schizophrenia.

Follow your doctor's prescribed dose and duration. You can take this medicine with or without food, but it's recommended to take it at the same time daily for better results.

Some common side effects of clozapine include dizziness, fainting, constipation, fever, weight gain, decreased white blood cell count, extrapyramidal symptoms, increased liver enzymes, drowsiness, and seizures.

A significant side effect of clozapine is agranulocytosis, a severe reduction in white blood cell count, which can increase the risk of infections. Regular blood monitoring is crucial, especially at the beginning of treatment, to detect signs of this condition. Clozapine may need to be discontinued in case of a significant decrease in white blood cell count. Additionally, it has been associated with heart-related issues like myocarditis and cardiomyopathy. Monitoring for symptoms like chest pain or shortness of breath is important, and in severe cases, discontinuation of clozapine might be necessary.

If a dose is missed, take it as soon as remembered If it's almost time for the next dose, skip the missed one, and continue with the regular dosing schedule. Avoid doubling the dose. Consult your doctor for guidance on managing missed doses effectively.

Always use this medication as directed by your healthcare professional. If you encounter any discomfort or unexpected reactions, seek medical advice promptly.
