Drug Precautions ::

If conditions warrant abrupt discontinuation (leukopenia, myocarditis, cardiomyopathy), monitor patient for psychosis and cholinergic rebound (headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea). Elderly patients are more susceptible to adverse effects (including agranulocytosis, cardiovascular, anticholinergic, and tardive dyskinesia). Significant risk of agranulocytosis, potentially life-threatening. Leucocyte counts should be monitored regularly and for at least 4 wk after treatment discontinuation. Renal, hepatic or cardiac impairment; prostatic enlargement, narrow-angle glaucoma; elderly; immobilised patients

Drug Mode of Action ::  

Clozapine has relatively weak dopamine receptor-blocking activity at D1, D2, D3 and D5 receptors but has high affinity for the D4 receptor. It has also blocking effects on serotonin, ?-adrenergic histamine H1 and cholinergic receptors.

Drug Interactions ::

Increased risk and/or severity of bone marrow suppression w/ bone marrow suppressants (e.g. carbamazepine, chloramphenicol), sulfonamides (e.g. co-trimoxazole), pyrazolone analgesics (e.g. phenylbutazone), penicillamine, cytotoxic agents or long-acting depot inj of antipsychotics. Concomitant use w/ benzodiazepines may increase risk of circulatory collapse which may lead to cardiac and/or resp arrest. Additive CNS depression and cognitive and motor performance interference w/ MAOIs and CNS depressants including antihistamines, benzodiazepines and opioid analgesics. May potentiate effects of anticholinergics or antihypertensives. Increased plasma concentration of highly protein bound substances (e.g. warfarin, digoxin). Decreased plasma concentrations w/ phenytoin. Concomitant use w/ lithium can increase the risk of development of neuroleptic malignant syndrome. Decreased clozapine levels w/ CYP1A2 inducers (e.g. omeprazole). Increased clozapine levels w/ CYP1A2 inhibitors (e.g. fluvoxamine, caffeine, ciprofloxacin).
