Introduction

If you have schizophrenia, or someone you care about has schizophrenia, and you wish your current antipsychotic medicine produced better results, consider talking to your doctor about CLOZARIL © (clozapine) tablets.

CLOZARIL is and antipsychotic medication that is helping tens of thousands of people with treatment-resistant schizophrenia. These are severely ill people who failed to respond adequately to standard antipsychotic agents, either because of ineffectiveness or intolerable adverse effects. Many people who were once incapacitated by schizophrenia are today leading more independent lives thanks to CLOZARIL therapy.

Medication Benefits
CLOZARIL is the only medicine proven superior to Thorazine© (chlorpromazine) for relieving symptoms in treatment-resistant patients.

Many people with treatment-resistant schizophrenia who were disappointed by the results of older antipsychotic drugs report making progress with CLOZARIL therapy. For some, progress has come in small steps -- a new interest in socializing, for example, or more involvement in group therapy or exercise. Other people have been able to form relationships, continue their education, or hold a job.

Treatment

A Treatable Brain Disease
Schizophrenia is a medical illness -- one that can be treated effectively. The distressing symptoms of schizophrenia are thought to be due to an imbalance of certain brain chemicals. Experts believe that antipsychotic medications relieve symptoms by helping to restore the levels of these brain chemicals to a more normal pattern.

Unfortunately, in one-third or more of patients, standard antipsychotic drugs do not control symptoms of schizophrenia well enough.

Individuals who have tried numerous medicines often still have troubling symptoms that prevent them from leading the kind of full, independent life they would like. Standard antipsychotic drugs commonly produce neurological side effects, such as restlessness, stiffness, shakiness, and muscle cramps. These effects can interfere with many aspects of daily life.

After reading this web page, if you have any questions about CLOZARIL or other treatments for schizophrenia, ask your doctor or another healthcare professional. Your doctor can help you decide if CLOZARIL is the right medicine for you or a loved one.
