Conclusion: Orthostatic hypotension is a common side effect during clozapine titration
Shake the bottle of the oral liquid for 10 seconds before each use
Clozapine serum concentration monitoring is used to confirm clinical intoxication by comparing it to a prior tolerated baseline serum level
But response is highly variable and some patients respond at much lower doses and vice versa
If you miss taking clozapine for more than 2 days, you should call your doctor before taking any more medication
Clozapine is usually taken 1 or 2 times per day with or without food

Clozapine can cause low blood pressure or a slow heartbeat, which can make you dizzy or cause you to faint when you stand up
The mean elimination half-life of clozapine after a single 75 mg dose was 8 hours (range: 4 to 12 hours), compared to a mean elimination half-life of 12 hours (range: 4 to 66 hours), after achieving steady state with 100 mg twice daily severe constipation; dry or hard bowel movements, or painful gas; nausea, vomiting, stomach pain or bloating; heart problems --chest pain, fast or pounding heartbeats, fluttering in your chest Low blood pressure—dizziness, feeling faint or lightheaded, blurry vision
A comparison of single-dose and multiple-dose administration of clozapine demonstrated that the elimination half-life increased significantly after multiple dosing relative to that after single-dose Mannitol may increase the excretion rate of Clozapine which could result in a lower serum level and potentially a reduction in efficacy
In addition, clozapine is an effective treatment for schizophrenia accompanied by persistent suicidal or self-injurious behavior
Despite the clinical benefits of clozapine, hesitancy to prescribe Another potential mechanism for the reduction in suicidal behavior by clozapine may be related to clozapine's apparent ability to reduce substance use in patients with schizophrenia, since substance use in these patients is associated with a risk for suicide

24,26 The choice of antibiotic treatment should consider any potential interactions with clozapine
Consider baseline serum clozapine levels and/or empiric dosage adjustments (30% to 40% reduction) in patients expected to have a prolonged hospital stay with forced smoking cessation

Clozapine is a second generation antipsychotic indicated for patients with treatment-resistant schizophrenia (TRS)
This side effect occurs in less than 1 out of every 100 people who take this medicine
Dose reduction may be necessary in patients with significant impairment of renal or hepatic function
Clozapine is the most effective antipsychotic for patients with treatment-refractory schizophrenia, providing clear benefits in about 60% of subjects [1-3]
More serious side effects include heart inflammation and changes in your blood pressure and metabolism

To ease the burden of dose-dependent side-effects, dose reduction of clozapine should be tried and combination with another antipsychotic drug may facilitate further dose reduction
