What is Clozaril
Clozaril is a neuroleptic that has sedative and antipsychotic effects and does not cause depression. It comes in 25 mg, 50 mg and 100 mg tablets.
Indications for use of Clozaril
It is indicated in patients resistant to standard neuroleptic therapy, in patients at risk of suicidal behaviour and in psychotic disorders of Parkinson’s disease.
