Description :

The CLOZIGIX 25 Tablet is the brand by Lifegenix containing Clozapine 25 mg, which functions as an atypical antipsychotic used to treat patients who have treatment-resistant schizophrenia and various severe psychiatric conditions. Doctors prescribe Clozapine to patients who have not responded to other antipsychotic treatments.

Clozapine functions by restoring balance between dopamine and serotonin brain chemicals, which results in decreased hallucinatory, delusional and disorganised thought and emotional withdrawal symptoms. The Clozapine 25 mg assists patients with persistent psychiatric disorders by enhancing their mental stability and ability to manage their behaviour and their overall life satisfaction.

Doctors begin this medication at a low dosage, which will be increased throughout treatment under continuous medical monitoring. The treatment process requires doctors to conduct blood counts because they serve as essential safety and efficacy monitoring tools.

Mechanism of action 

The drug Clozapine controls neurotransmitter functions, which mainly affects dopamine and serotonin since these two neurotransmitters control both emotional states and human behaviour and cognitive functions. 

The main action of Clozapine is its ability to block both dopamine D2 receptors and serotonin 5-HT2A receptors. The drug functions as an antipsychotic because it has less D2 dopamine receptor binding strength compared to conventional antipsychotics, which enables the drug to decrease psychotic symptoms while it maintains a low risk of causing movement disorders. 

The drug CLOZIGIX 25 restores brain chemical balance, which reduces hallucinations and delusions, disorganised thinking, emotional withdrawal and behavioural disturbance,s thus enhancing mental stability and overall life quality.
