This medicine is not intended for infants and children below the age of 16,
as there is not enough information on its use in this age group.
Prior to starting treatment with Lozapine, you must perform a blood test to
ensure that you may take the medicine.
Since the medicine may cause a decrease in the number of white
blood cells, a white blood cell count and a differential blood count
must be performed prior to beginning treatment. The treatment may
be started only if the blood count is found to be normal.
A white blood cell count should be performed every week for the
first 18 weeks of treatment, and then, at least every 4 weeks, as
long as the patient is taking Lozapine.
If an infection is found and/or the blood count is below 3500/mm

trimoxazole.
certain painkillers: pyrazolone analgesics such as phenylbutazone.
penicillamine, a medicine used to treat rheumatoid arthritis.
cytotoxic agents - chemotherapeutic medicines.
long-acting injections of antipsychotic medicines.
These medicines increase the risk of developing agranulocytosis (lack of
white blood cells).
Taking Lozapine may affect how other medicines work or they might affect
how Lozapine works. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking:

HOW SHOULD YOU USE THE MEDICINE?
Always use according to the doctor’s instructions. Check with the
doctor or pharmacist if you are uncertain.
To minimize the risk of low blood pressure, seizures, and sleepiness,
the doctor will increase your dosage gradually.
It is important that you do not change your dosage or stop taking the
medicine without consulting the doctor. Continue taking the tablets
according to the doctor's instructions.
If you are 60 years of age or older, your doctor may start you on a
lower dosage and increase it more gradually because you are at
higher risk of developing undesirable side effects (see section 2
“Special warnings regarding use of the medicine”).
The dosage and manner of treatment will be determined by the
doctor only. The usual dosage is generally:
The usual starting dosage is 12.5 mg (one half of a 25 mg tablet) once or
twice on the first day, followed by 25 mg once or twice on the second day.
If tolerated well, your doctor will then gradually increase the dosage in
intervals of 25-50 mg over the next 2-3 weeks until a dose of 300 mg per
day is reached. After that, if necessary, the daily dosage may be increased
in intervals of 50-100 mg at half-weekly intervals, or preferably, at weekly
intervals.
The effective dosage is usually between 200 mg and 450 mg, divided into
several doses a day. Some people might need a higher dosage. A daily
dosage of up to 900 mg is allowed. Increased side effects (particularly
seizures) are possible at daily dosages over 450 mg. Always take the
lowest effective dosage for you.
Most people take part of their dosage in the morning and part in the
evening. The doctor will instruct you exactly how to divide your daily dose.
If your daily dosage is only 200 mg, you can take this as a single dose in
the evening.
Taking Lozapine at the same time every day will help you remember when
you have to take the medicine.
Once you have been taking Lozapine with successful results for some
time, the doctor may try to lower the dosage. You will need to take
Lozapine for at least 6 months.
Do not exceed the recommended dose.
Do not chew. Swallow the medicine with water.
Tests and follow-up
Before beginning use of the medicine, the doctor will check your medical
history and refer you to blood tests to ensure that your white blood cell
count is normal. This is very important because your body needs white
blood cells to fight infections. You can start treatment only if the blood
count is normal.
Be sure to have regular blood tests before you start treatment, during
treatment and after you stop treatment with the medicine (for at least 4
weeks). The doctor will give you instructions about this. It is important to
perform all the blood tests as recommended by the doctor.
The medicine may cause a severe decline in white blood cell count
(agranulocytosis) - Regular blood tests are the only way for the doctor to
know if you are at risk of developing agranulocytosis.
The doctor will also perform a physical examination prior to beginning
treatment. The doctor may also perform an ECG to check your heart, but
only if this test is essential, or if you have specific concerns.
If you have liver problems, you should regularly perform liver function tests
for as long as you are taking the medicine.
If you have high levels of blood sugar (diabetes), the doctor may regularly
test your blood sugar levels.
Lozapine may cause alterations in blood lipids. Lozapine may cause
weight gain. The doctor will monitor your weight and blood lipid levels.
If you accidentally took a higher dosage
or if a child has accidentally
swallowed the medicine, refer immediately to a doctor or proceed to a
hospital emergency room, and bring the package of the medicine with you.

next dose at the scheduled time. Never take a double dose to compensate
for a forgotten dose. If you have not taken Lozapine for more than 48
hours, do not resume treatment with the medicine and contact the
doctor
as soon as possible.
Be sure to adhere to the treatment regimen as recommended by the
doctor.
Even if there is an improvement in your health, do not stop treatment with
the medicine without consulting the doctor.

do not receive immediate treatment, these signs may be followed by
more serious side effects.
Your original symptoms may return. If you need to stop treatment, the
doctor
will gradually reduce the dosage for one to two weeks. The doctor
will advise you how to decrease your daily dosage.
If you need to stop treatment immediately, you will have to be checked by
your doctor.
If the doctor decides that you must restart Lozapine treatment and the last
dose was taken more than two days earlier, start at a dosage of 12.5 mg.
