CONTINUING ON CLOPINE® Clopine® helps to control schizophrenia, but is not a cure. It is important to keep taking Clopine® as prescribed, even if symptoms become less noticeable. Please contact your doctor, nurse or pharmacist if you’re not sure what to do. What is the starting dose for Clopine®? To provide time to get used to Clopine®, the starting dose is usually half a tablet taken once or twice on the first day; this dose will then be gradually increased over time to achieve the right dose. The right dose of Clopine® will be determined in consultation with the prescribing doctor. What steps should be taken following a missed dose of Clopine®? • If it is almost time for the next dose (within four hours): skip the missed dose, then take the next dose as normal. • At any other time: take the missed dose as soon as you remember, then return to normal dosing. It is important NOT to take a double dose of Clopine® If Clopine® treatment is missed for more than two days, it should NOT be started again without contacting the prescribing doctor first. A lower dose may be needed on re-starting to prevent side effects. 07
