Expert Opinion on Drug Safety: Vol. So the NCZ/D parameter could be used as a good indicator for adjusting the clozapine dose-adaptation strategy and consequently for improving the clinical psychopathological state of schizophrenia-treatment resistant patients. 2009 May-Jun;32(3):154-7. doi: 10.1097/WNF.0b013e31818d46f5.Expert Opin Drug Metab Toxicol.

Fifty-seven patients (34 men and 23 women, mean age 36.6 ± 11.4 years) taking clozapine in a daily doses varying from 75 to 800 mg entered the study. Epub 2015 Sep 12.

All Rights Reserved.Relationships between clozapine and norclozapine plasma concentrations, clozapine dose, and clinical response in Tunisian patients with schizophrenia-treatment resistance Fourteen schizophrenia-treatment resistant patients, recruited for this study, were treated with clozapine for 45 days. No significant correlations between plasma clozapine and norclozapine concentrations and clinical health improvement among our schizophrenic patients were found. Checking plasma clozapine and norclozapine levels and the clozapine:norclozapine ratio may help in detecting recent clozapine non-compliance.

Despite the small sample size of our study, our findings suggest that the clozapine therapy response variations observed in our patients may be, in part, explained by the interindividual differences in plasma norclozapine concentration to clozapine dose ratio (NCZ/D).

Unable to load your delegates due to an error We present these results by drug class. The present study investigated relationships between clozapine dose, clozapine and norclozapine plasma concentrations, and clinical responses to clozapine treatment in Tunisian schizophrenics. The assay should be a trough sample taken either immediately before a normal morning dose or in the morning after an evening dose. It is used when adjusting the initial dose, and to ensure that clozapine levels stay within an acceptable range. However, a significant correlation was observed between clinical health improvement given by BPRS scores and norclozapine plasma concentration to daily clozapine dose ratio (NCZ/D). The clozapine:norclozapine ratio should normally be in the range of 0.5-2.5.

According to Perry's dosing nomogram, 47% of clozapine concentration variability were explained by dose, sex, and smoking status , while dose, sex, cigarette smoking, body weight, clozapine level, and clozapine : norclozapine ratio accounted for only 48% of the clozapine concentration variability in Rostami-Hodjegan nomogram .
