Clozapine and the Treatment of Schizophrenia

Treatment of clozapine sold under the trade name "clozaril" and schizophrenia clozapine is a member of the dibenzodiazepine antipsychotic and is one of many types of antipsychotics. Clozapine is a heteromorphic drug because it is different from traditional conventional medicines such as Halodol and Lithium. The difference between atypical drugs and old drugs is that using more specific receptors reduces the activity of antipsychotics. Atypical drugs can effectively treat mental disorders and often have fewer side effects than their predecessors.

Background: Clozapine is an atypical antipsychotic used to treat resistant schizophrenia. Compared to other typical antipsychotics, it is effective in treating the positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia and its possibility of extrapyramidal side effects is diminished. Clozapine is known to have cardiac side effects including but not limited to myocarditis and cardiomyopathy. Approximately 75% of cases of clozapine-induced myocarditis occurs within the first month of titration and emphasizes the need for monitoring

Experimental studies were designed to assess the efficacy of clozapine in the treatment of Beijing's anti-schizophrenia. Twenty-two patients with drug-resistant schizophrenia were selected for study using a random sampling method. Samples were evaluated using positive and negative syndrome scales of schizophrenia. As a result, 60% of the participants responded to clozapine treatment during the observation period. Researchers concluded that clozapine is therapeutically effective in treating drug resistant schizophrenia. (Sho, Y.T, 2009)

There are several treatments available for delusive illusions. In this article, we will explain drug treatment and two non-pharmacological treatments. Clozapine is an antipsychotic drug commonly used to treat resistant schizophrenia (Tiziani 2010). Weinberger and Harrison (2011) provides an overview of the identification and use of clozapine in Europe in the early 1960s. Clozapine is very effective for patients who do not respond to other treatments (Weinberger and Harrison 2011). However, because clozapine causes agranulocytosis, it has been rigorously tested for years (Weinberger and Harrison 2011). Like other drugs, clozapine has side effects such as fever, changes in brain waves, promotion of dream activities, elevation of liver enzymes, cardiomyopathy, etc. Clozapine is still in use, because despite all side effects it is the only option for treating patients with tolerance
