Sizopin 100 MG Description

Sizopin tablets contain Clozapine as its active ingredient. Clozapine belongs to a category of medications known as atypical antipsychotics. It is used to treat severe Schizophrenia, especially when

the first-line medication therapy fails to show the desired effects. It can also be used to treat Parkinson‘s disease, bipolar disorder or mood disorders. It acts by regulating certain brain chemicals to relieve symptoms which helps improve behaviour, mood and quality of life. It needs to be taken orally with water with or without food. Sizopin can cause side effects such as increased heart rate, dizziness, headache and blurry vision. It is generally used to treat adult psychiatric disorders and is not recommended for children below 18 years. Sizopin can cause or worsen a blood disorder which prolongs bleeding time, so care should be taken to do the required tests before starting on this medication. Older patients with dementia should not take Sizopin tablet.
