Indications & Clinical Uses

Clozapine 100 mg/1 is an atypical antipsychotic used to manage certain mental health conditions. It is particularly effective in patients who have not responded to other treatments.

  • Treatment-resistant schizophrenia: Improves symptoms in patients who do not respond to standard antipsychotic treatments.
  • Schizoaffective disorder: Helps manage symptoms of both schizophrenia and mood disorders.

How It Works

  • Clozapine works by antagonizing dopamine D2 receptors and serotonin 5-HT2A receptors in the brain. This dual action helps to regulate neurotransmitter activity, which is crucial in managing symptoms of schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder. The drug also has additional activity at other neurotransmitter receptors, contributing to its unique efficacy profile.
