Amlepo 100mg Tablet

Amlepo 100mg Tablet is a tablet made by Amarant Caraway Pharmaceutical that contains Clozapine 100mg, an atypical antipsychotic for treatment-resistant schizophrenia. It is used for treatment-resistant schizophrenia and psychosis in Parkinson's disease. Pack size: 50 tablets.

Uses of Amlepo 100mg Tablet

Amlepo 100mg Tablet is used for schizophrenia when at least two other antipsychotic medicines have not worked well enough or have caused side effects that could not be tolerated. It can reduce hallucinations, delusions and disordered thinking, and lowers the risk of suicidal behaviour in schizophrenia. It is also used for psychosis in Parkinson’s disease. Because of its risks, it is started and monitored by a specialist.

How Amlepo 100mg Tablet works

Clozapine blocks several chemical messengers in the brain, including dopamine and serotonin, which helps rebalance the brain signalling involved in psychosis. It acts only weakly on the dopamine receptors linked to movement, so stiffness and tremor are less common than with older antipsychotics.

Possible side effects

Clozapine is effective but has a number of side effects, and common ones with Amlepo 100mg Tablet include:

• Drowsiness
• Excess saliva or drooling, especially at night
• Constipation
• Weight gain
• Dizziness on standing
• Fast heartbeat

Contact your doctor immediately if you have a fever, sore throat, mouth ulcers or flu-like symptoms, as these may mean your white cells are low. Seek urgent help for severe constipation or stomach pain, chest pain, breathlessness, a racing heartbeat or a fit.

Precautions and warnings

• Regular blood tests are mandatory throughout treatment to check your white blood cell count, and the medicine is only supplied while the results are safe.
• Constipation can become serious, so tell your doctor early if you are not opening your bowels regularly.
• Smoking changes the level of clozapine in the blood, so tell your doctor if you start or stop smoking.
• Do not stop it suddenly or miss several days without telling your doctor, as it may need to be restarted at a low dose.
• Avoid alcohol, do not drive until you know how it affects you, and tell your doctor about all other medicines, especially those that affect the blood or heart rhythm.

Storage

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep it in the original pack until use. Keep all medicines out of the reach of children.
