1. What Clozapine Mylan is and what it is used for

The active substance in Clozapine Mylan is clozapine which belongs to a group of medicines called antipsychotic medicines, which are used to treat specific mental conditions e.g. psychos.

Clozapine Mylan is used to treat patients with schizophrenia for whom other medicines have not worked satisfactorily.

Schizophrenia is a mental illness, which affects how you think, feel, and behave. You should only take this medicine if you have already tried at least two other antipsychotic drugs, including one of the newer so-called atypical antipsychotic drugs, to treat schizophrenia and none of these drugs have worked satisfactorily or caused serious untreatable side effects.

Clozapine Mylan is also used to treat severe thoughts, feelings, and behavioral disorders in people with Parkinson’s disease for whom other medicines have not worked.

Clozapine contained in Clozapine Mylan may also be approved for the treatment of other conditions not mentioned in this product information. Ask your doctor, pharmacist, or another healthcare professional if you have any further questions and always follow their instructions

What you need to know before you take Clozapine Mylan

Do not take Clozapine Mylan:

  • if you are allergic to clozapine or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).
  • if you do not have the opportunity to participate in regular blood tests.
  • if you have previously been informed that you have a low white blood cell count (eg leukopenia or agranulocytosis ), especially if this has been caused by other medicines. This does not apply if you have low blood cell counts due to previous cancer treatment ( chemotherapy ).
  • if you have previously stopped taking clozapine due to serious side effects (eg agranulocytosis and heart problems).
  • if you are being treated with or have been treated with long-acting depot injections of antipsychotic drugs.
  • if you have or have had any disease that impairs bone marrow function or you are taking medicines that prevent your bone marrow from functioning normally.
  • if you have uncontrolled epilepsy (seizures and seizures).
  • if you have an acute mental illness caused by alcohol or drugs (eg drugs).
  • if you have impaired consciousness and pronounced drowsiness.
  • if you have experienced a collapse of the blood circulation, which may occur as a result of severe shock.
  • if you have severe kidney disease.
  • if you have any serious heart disease such as inflammation of the heart muscle ( myocarditis ).
  • if you have symptoms of active liver disease such as jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes, nausea, or poor appetite).
  • if you have any other serious liver disease.
  • if your bowel is not functioning normally and you have severe constipation (paralytic ileus ).
  • if you are taking any medicine that reduces the number of white blood cells in your blood.

If any of the above apply to you, tell your doctor and do not take Clozapine Mylan. Clozapine Mylan must not be given to anyone who is unconscious or in a coma.

Warnings and cautions

The safety precautions in this section are very important. You must follow them to minimize the risk of serious life-threatening side effects.

Before treatment  

Tell your doctor if you have or have had:

  • blood clots or if someone in your family has had a blood clot in the past, as medicines like these have been linked to blood clots.
  • glaucoma (increased pressure in the eye)
  • diabetes or if someone in your family has had diabetes. Elevated blood sugar level (sometimes very elevated), have occurred both in patients with preexisting diabetes or without previous diabetes (see section 4)
  • prostate problems or difficulty urinating
  • heart, kidney, or liver disease
  • chronic constipation or if you are taking medicines that can cause constipation (such as anticholinergics)
  • controlled epilepsy
  • colon disease

Also, tell your doctor if you

  • underwent any abdominal surgery
  • if you have had a heart condition or if someone in your family has had disorders of the cardiac conduction system called ” QT prolongation “,
  • if you have an increased risk of stroke, for example, if you have high blood pressure, cardiovascular problems, or disease of the blood vessels of the brain.

During treatment

Tell your doctor immediately before taking the next Clozapine Mylan tablet:

  • if you get signs of a cold, fever, flu-like symptoms, sore throat, or any other infection. You will then immediately need to take a blood sample to check if your symptoms are related to your medicine.
  • if you have a sudden rapid rise in body temperature and stiff muscles that can lead to unconsciousness. It can be a serious side effect (malignant neuroleptic syndrome) that requires immediate treatment.
  • if you have a fast and irregular heartbeat, even at rest, palpitations, difficulty breathing, chest pain, or unexplained fatigue. Your doctor will need to examine your heart and, if necessary, refer you immediately to a cardiologist.
  • if you are sick, suffering from vomiting, and/or lack of appetite. Then your doctor needs to check your liver.
  • if you have severe constipation. Your doctor will treat this to avoid later complications.
  • if you have constipation, abdominal pain, abdominal pain, fever, bloating, and/or bloody diarrhea. Your doctor will need to examine you.

Medical and blood tests

Before starting treatment with Clozapine Mylan, your doctor will ask you about your medical history and take a blood test to make sure that your white blood cell count is normal. It is important to find out this because your body needs white blood cells to fight your infection.

Make sure you have regular blood tests before starting treatment, during treatment, and after stopping treatment with Clozapine Mylan.

  • Your doctor will carefully inform you when and where to take a blood test. Clozapine should only be taken if you have a normal number of blood cells.
  • Clozapine can cause a large decrease in the number of white blood cells in your blood ( agranulocytosis ). Only regular blood tests can tell your doctor if you are at risk of developing agranulocytosis.
  • During the first 18 weeks of treatment, blood tests are performed once a week. Later, blood tests are taken at least once a month.
  • If there is a decrease in white blood cell count , you must stop taking clozapine immediately. Your white blood cells will return to normal.
  • You will need to have a new blood test 4 weeks after stopping clozapine treatment.

Your doctor will also examine you before you start treatment. Your doctor may take an ECG to examine your heart, but only if it is considered necessary or if you have special concerns.

If you have impaired liver function, you will need regular liver function tests while you are taking clozapine.

If you suffer from high blood sugar levels ( diabetes ), your doctor may need to check your blood sugar levels regularly.

Clozapine can cause changes in blood fats. Clozapine may cause weight gain. Your doctor may need to check your weight and blood fats.

If you already feel dizzy or if clozapine makes you dizzy, dizzy, or faint, be careful when standing up from a sitting or lying position as these may increase the risk of falling.

If you need surgery or if for some reason you can not walk for a long time, discuss with your doctor the fact that you are taking clozapine. You are at risk of getting a blood clot in a vein ( thrombosis ).

Children and young people under 16 years of age

If you are under 16 years of age, do not take Clozapine Mylan, as there is not enough information on its use in this age group.

Elderly people (60 years and older)

Elderly people (60 years and older) are more likely to get the following side effects during treatment with clozapine: fainting or dizziness in the head after changing position, dizziness, rapid heartbeat, difficulty urinating, and constipation.

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you suffer from dementia.

Other medicines and Clozapine Mylan

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicines. This includes over-the-counter medicines and natural remedies. You may need to take a different amount of your medicine or take other medicines.

Do not take Clozapine Mylan with medicines that prevent bone marrow from functioning normally and/or reducing the number of blood cells produced by the body, such as:

  • carbamazepine, a medicine used to treat epilepsy
  • certain antibiotics: chloramphenicol, sulfonamide (eg co-triazole)
  • certain painkillers: pyrazolone analgesics such as phenylbutazone
  • penicillamine, a drug used to treat rheumatoid arthritis
  • cytotoxic agents, drugs used in chemotherapy
  • long-acting depot injections of antipsychotic drugs

These medicines increase your risk of developing agranulocytosis (lack of white blood cells ).

Treatment with Clozapine Mylan with other medicines may affect how well Clozapine Mylan and/or the other medicines work. Tell your doctor if you are planning to take, if you are taking (even if your treatment is about to end) or if you have recently taken any of the following medicines:

  • drugs used to treat depression e.g. lithium, fluvoxamine, tricyclic antidepressants, MAO inhibitors, citalopram, paroxetine, fluoxetine, and sertraline
  • other antipsychotic drugs to treat mental illness, such as perazine
  • benzodiazepines and other medicines used to treat anxiety and difficulty sleeping
  • drugs and other drugs that may affect breathing
  • drugs such as epilepsy such as phenytoin and valproic acid
  • drugs used to treat high or low blood pressure such as adrenaline and norepinephrine
  • warfarin, a drug used to prevent blood clots
  • antihistamines, medicines used for allergies such as hay fever
  • anticholinergic drugs, which are used to relieve stomach cramps, spasms, and motion sickness
  • drugs used in Parkinson’s disease
  • drugs that inhibit certain enzymes such as caffeine (used as an analgesic), perazine (drugs used to treat mental illness), fluvoxamine (used to treat depression), ciprofloxacin ( antibiotic )
  • digoxin, a drug used in heart problems
  • drugs used to treat fast or irregular heartbeat
  • hormonal contraceptives ( birth control pills ), such as progesterone, or combined birth control pills such as progesterone and estrogen.
  • some medicines used to treat stomach ulcers, such as omeprazole or cimetidine
  • some antibiotics, such as erythromycin and rifampicin
  • some medicines used to treat fungal infections (such as ketoconazole ) or viral infections (eg protease inhibitors, used to treat HIV infections)
  • atropine, a drug that can be used in certain eye drops or in cough and cold products
  • adrenaline, a drug used in emergencies

This list is not complete. Your doctor and pharmacist have more information about the medicines that you should be careful about or avoid when taking this medicine. They also know if the medicines you are currently taking belong to the medicines on the list.

Taking Clozapine Mylan with food and drink

Do not drink alcohol during treatment with Clozapine Mylan.

Tell your doctor if you smoke and how often you drink caffeinated beverages (coffee, tea, and Coca-cola). Sudden changes in your smoking or caffeine habits can also change the effect of this medicine.

Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and fertility

Pregnancy

If you are pregnant or breast-feeding, think you may be pregnant, or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor for advice before taking this medicine. Your doctor will discuss the benefits and possible risks for you of using this medicine during pregnancy. Tell your doctor immediately if you become pregnant during treatment with this medicine.

The following symptoms may occur in newborns of mothers who have used clozapine during the last trimester (the last three months of pregnancy): tremors, muscle stiffness and/or weakness, drowsiness, anxiety, difficulty breathing, and difficulty eating. If your child has any of these symptoms, you may need to consult a doctor.

Some women who take medication to treat mental illness have irregular periods or none at all. If you have been affected in this way, your periods may return when you are treated with clozapine. This means that you must use an effective method of contraception.
