Generic Clozaril(Generic name: Clozapine)
Clozaril
Drug Info
Clozaril
Drug Uses:Clozaril tablets contain the active ingredient clozapine, which is a type of medicine known as an atypical antipsychotic.
It works in the brain, where it affects a neurotransmitter called dopamine. Neurotransmitters are chemicals that are stored in nerve cells and are involved in transmitting messages between the nerve cells.
Dopamine is a neurotransmitter known to be involved in regulating mood and behaviour, amongst other things. Schizophrenia is associated with an overactivity of dopamine in the brain, and this may be associated with the delusions and hallucinations that are a feature of this disease.
Clozapine works by blocking the receptors in the brain that dopamine acts on. This prevents the excessive activity of dopamine and helps to control psychotic illness.
How to Use Clozaril
: Take this medication by mouth with or without food, as directed by your doctor. If you are taking the tablets that dissolve in the mouth, carefully remove each tablet from the blister pack immediately before taking your dose. Allow the tablets to dissolve on your tongue and swallow. You do not need to take the dissolving tablets with water. Discard any dissolving tablets that have been previously exposed to air due to opened/damaged packaging. Do not save them for your next dose.
Clozaril
Precautions:Before taking clozapine,
tell your doctor and pharmacist if you are allergic to clozapine or any other medications.
- tell your doctor and pharmacist what prescription and nonprescription medications, vitamins, nutritional supplements, and herbal products you are taking or plan to take. Be sure to mention those listed in the IMPORTANT WARNING section and any of the following: antihistamines; benztropine (Cogentin); cimetidine (Tagamet); ciprofloxacin (Cipro); dicyclomine (Bentyl); epinephrine; erythromycin (E.E.S., E-Mycin, others); medications for high blood pressure, mental illness, or nausea; medications for irregular heartbeat such as encainide, flecainide (Tambocor), propafenone (Rythmol), and quinidine (Quinidex);medications for seizures such as carbamazepine (Tegretol) or phenytoin (Dilantin); rifampin (Rifadin, Rimactane); sedatives; selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) such as citalopram (Celexa), fluoxetine (Prozac, Sarafem), fluvoxamine (Luvox), paroxetine (Paxil), and sertraline (Zoloft);sleeping pills; tranquilizers; and trihexyphenidyl (Artane). Your doctor may need to change the doses of your medications or monitor you carefully for side effects.
- in addition to the condition listed in the IMPORTANT WARNING section, tell your doctor if you have or have ever had problems with your urinary system or prostate (a male reproductive gland); paralytic ileus (condition in which food cannot move through the intestine); glaucoma; irregular heartbeat; high or low blood pressure; or heart, kidney, lung, or liver disease; or if you or anyone in your family has or has ever had diabetes. Also tell your doctor if you have ever had to stop taking a medication for mental illness because of severe side effects.
- tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. If you become pregnant while taking clozapine, call your doctor. Do not breast-feed while you are taking this medication.
- if you are having surgery, including dental surgery, tell the doctor or dentist that you are taking clozapine.
- you should know that alcohol can add to the drowsiness caused by this medication.
- tell your doctor if you use tobacco products. Cigarette smoking may decrease the effectiveness of this medication.
- you should know that you may experience hyperglycemia (increases in your blood sugar) while you are taking this medication, even if you do not already have diabetes. If you have schizophrenia, you are more likely to develop diabetes than people who do not have schizophrenia, and taking clozapine or similar medications may increase this risk. Tell your doctor immediately if you have any of the following symptoms while you are taking clozapine: extreme thirst, frequent urination, extreme hunger, blurred vision, or weakness. It is very important to call your doctor as soon as you have any of these symptoms, because high blood sugar can cause a serious condition called ketoacidosis. Ketoacidosis may become life-threatening if it is not treated at an early stage. Symptoms of ketoacidosis include: dry mouth, nausea and vomiting, shortness of breath, breath that smells fruity, and decreased consciousness.
- if you have phenylketonuria (PKU, an inherited condition in which a special diet must be followed to prevent mental retardation), you should know that the orally disintegrating tablets contain phenylalanine.

Perimenopause
Perimenopause (or premenopause) is the stage in a woman's life when she is transitioning from childbearing years into menopause. Symptoms vary greatly in their severity and occurrence. During this time (near a woman's midlife) her levels of estrogen and progesterone begin to fall. Estrogen will fall 40% to 60% and progesterone levels will fall to essentially zero by the onset of menopause.
Many of the symptoms of perimenopause are thought to be due to a phenomenon known as "Estrogen Dominance". In this condition, a woman has too much estrogen relative to the amount of progesterone in her body. As a result, the body is off-balance in terms of female hormones circulating throughout the body.
Hoodia
Hoodia is a genus of succulent plants in the family Apocynaceae that is widely used traditionally by the San
people of southern Africa as an appetite suppressant, thirst quencher and as a cure for severe abdominal cramps,
haemorrhoids, tuberculosis, indigestion, hypertension and diabetes.
Recent press reports from various large media outlets such as 60 minutes, BBC, and ABC News have shone a light on
Hoodia's long standing positive appetite suppressing effects.
“Imagine this: an organic pill that kills the appetite and attacks obesity.
It has no known side-effects, and contains a molecule that fools your brain into believing you are full. ”
“The plant is said to have a feel-good almost aphrodisiac quality, and I have to say, we felt good.”
- BBC News Report
The San Bushmen of the Kalahari, one of the world's oldest and most primitive tribes, has been eating the Hoodia
for thousands of years, to stave off hunger during long hunting trips. Hoodia is derived from Hoodia gordonii (Masson)
Sweet ex Decne. of the dogbane family (Apocynaceae), a succulent plant that grows primarily in Namibia as well as in
northwestern parts of South Africa.
Motrin
Motrin (Ibuprofen) is used to relieve the pain, tenderness, inflammation (swelling), and stiffness caused by arthritis and gout. It isalso used to reduce fever and to relieve headaches, muscle aches, menstrual pain, aches and pains from the common cold, backache, and pain after surgery or dental work.
