Common use

Clozapine is an antipsychotic medicine. It works by changing the actions of chemicals in the brain. Clozapine is used to treat schizophrenia in adults after other treatments have failed. Clozapine is also used to reduce the risk of suicidal behavior in adults with schizophrenia or similar disorders.

Dosage and direction

Take clozapine exactly as prescribed by your doctor. You may take clozapine with or without food. You should not stop using clozapine suddenly. Follow your doctor's instructions about tapering your dose. Usual Adult Dose for Schizophrenia: Initial dose: 12.5 mg orally once or twice a day; Titration and Maintenance dose: May increase total daily dose in increments of 25 mg to 50 mg per day to a target dose of 300 mg to 450 mg per day (administered in divided doses) by the end of week 2. Subsequent dose increases can be in increments of up to 100 mg once or twice weekly. Maximum dose: 900 mg per day.
