Clozaril® (clozapine), an atypical antipsychotic, is prescribed in cases where other treatments for schizophrenia have failed. Although this medication cannot cure schizophrenia, it can help relieve symptoms. Clozaril comes in tablet form and is generally taken one to three times a day.
Prior to beginning treatment with Clozaril, inform your healthcare provider about any other drugs you are taking and any other medical conditions you may have. For example, people with diabetes, bone marrow problems, or heart disease may need to take a different medicine.
