1 Clozapine treatment guidance Prescribing: The initiation of clozapine in TEWV is restricted to consultant psychiatrists registered with the CPMS. ALERT: Clozapine titration can be safely done in the community Please note: always consider physical health state, patient adherence with oral medication and blood tests, ability to see patient every day during the early titration phase, support for patient to attend team base or with collection/delivery of medicines, team resources and client preference. If you have any concerns with regard to the above consider using a crisis bed or admit to an in-patient area. CLOZAPINE CLINICAL ALGORITHM Decision to commence clozapine BASELINE ASSESSMENT AND COMMUNITY SUPPORT SET UP TITRATION AND DAILY MONITORING WEEKS 1 & 2 TITRATION AND WEEKLY MONITORING WEEKS 3 & 4 WEEKLY MONITORING WEEKS WEEKLY MONITORING WEEKS MONTHLY MONITORING WEEK 52 ONWARDS Green result Satisfactory Action continue with routine tests Amber result WBC or neutrophils counts below accepted levels Action Repeat test twice a week until either red or green Red result WBC below 3000/mm³ and/or absolute neutrophils below 1500/mm³ Action Immediate cessation of therapy. Sample blood daily until patient recovered. No further prescribing allowed unless an error has occurred or consultant takes full responsibility Interactions: Note that interactions with the following may significantly affect clozapine levels and dose adjustments may be required (see BNF for more details): - Antibiotics; Carbamazepine; SSRIs; Phenytoin; Smoking IF AT ANY POINT DURING THE PATHWAY THE CLIENT HAS A RED BLOOD RESULT IMMEDIATELY DISCUSS WITH THE CLIENT S CONSULTANT AND CARE CO-ORDINATOR SEEK MEDICAL ADVICE IF:- Temperature is above 38 Pulse is above 100 bpm Systolic blood pressure drops more than 30mmHg Over sedation Intolerable side effects At each consultation remind client to report any signs of infection e.g. fever or sore throat. Check bloods if symptoms of infection reported.
2 Baseline assessment and community set up Decision to commence clozapine made by multidisciplinary team and patient Confirm consultant registered with CPMS Patient education session to explain blood monitoring arrangements and side effects. Patient information leaflets provided and informed consent obtained. Baseline assessments of side effects and baseline BPRS completed and recorded Baseline physical examination carried out BP Temperature Pulse Weight ECG Fasting blood glucose LFT s U&E Lipids & Prolactin Height Waist circumference Check physical health history particularly cardiac and GI history and document. (Constipation: Warning letter regarding clozapine and constipation ) Baseline blood test (WCC and differential count) sent to local haematology labs Patient baseline blood test result entered on the patient registration form, and patient registered with CPMS. Confirmation of GREEN baseline result from CPMS Prescribe initial doses on the titration chart (using either standard chart Appendix 3 or individual chart Appendix 4). Community initiation: May require a slower and more flexible titration than inpatients. There are 2 methods for starting clozapine. The first dose is given just before retiring; this avoids the need for close monitoring immediately after administration, then for subsequent days monitoring should take place after the morning dose with the patient taking the night time dose before retiring. The first dose may be given in the morning then monitor as per pathway for the next 6 hours; repeat for morning dose on subsequent days with the patient taking the night time dose before retiring. Order initial supply from Pharmacy indicating intended start date First dose should commence within ten days of the baseline blood sample Notify patient s GP Notify Trust Pharmacy team to ensure patient added to evcb Set up arrangements for seeing the patient everyday during the early titration phase to monitor side effects Set up arrangements for collection/delivery of medicines to support adherence with treatment Complete intervention plan and give a copy to the patient
3 Day 1 Immediately prior to first dose of clozapine the following physical assessments should be carried out: BP Temperature Pulse If any abnormalities or concerns results should be discussed with medical staff prior to administration of clozapine. Administer first dose of clozapine (ensure this is within 10 days of baseline blood test) The following should be recorded: NB Monitoring BP, temperature and pulse is not required if the first dose is given at night. Blood pressure Temperature Pulse Weight 1 hour 2 hour 3 hour 4 hour 5 hour 6 hour Patient provided with out of hours contact details Week 1 (Days 2 to 7) & Week 2 Once in the week, patient blood sample obtained and sent to: Near patient testing unit CPMS Local haematology labs (WCC and differential count) Date of next blood test arranged Next seven days of treatment are prescribed on the titration chart Order next supply of clozapine from Lloydspharmacy/acute trust If sample sent to local haematology lab notify CPMS ( ) of results or enter results onto ecpms (WBC; platelets; absolute neutrophils) Confirm GREEN blood result on CPMS system and confirm result/attendance on evcb. If AMBER or RED refer to appendix 1 or 2 Post morning dose monitoring Day 2 Day 3 Day 4 Day 5 Day 6 Day 7 Blood pressure Temperature Pulse Weight Blood pressure Temperature Pulse Weight Day 8 Day 9 Day 10 Day 11 Day 12 Day 13 Day 14 Clozapine supply for remainder of validity collected by patient/care coordinator (supplies issued by Lloydspharmacy will be dispensed into daily venalink packs during the titration period)

Brief assessment of mental state completed, including mood, thinking and behaviour Clozapine serum levels should be measured as a minimum annually but can be measured more frequently at the request of the prescriber, results should be interpreted following the trust clozapine plasma assay guidance. Issue supply of clozapine to patient /direct patient to Lloyds branch where appropriate Dose Changes Lloydspharmacy/Acute trust and Trust Pharmacy Team must be notified of all dose changes via prearranged notification method in order for a new 6 month repeat prescription to be generated All dose changes to clozapine and any co-meds prescribed within the trust must be recorded on PARIS
