FazaClo Oral Notes

Do not share this medication with others.

Laboratory tests (e.g., blood tests) should be performed weekly for the first 6 months of treatment. During the next 6 months, they should be performed at least every 2 weeks. After that, they should be performed regularly no less often than once a month while you are on clozapine and for at least 4 weeks after you stop taking it. Your testing schedule may be changed if you develop a low white blood cell count, or if your treatment is interrupted. Your doctor may also order liver function tests and blood sugar tests from time to time. Consult your doctor for more details.
