ZTAS WRAP-AROUND SERVICES
We are specialists at providing a high quality and efficient service for clozapine treatment providers
Here at Magna Labs, we can provide a high quality, seamless clozapine service, thanks to our interface with the Zaponex Treatment Access System (ZTAS), and its essential wrap-around services designed to enhanced patient safety. These services include...
CLOZAPINE SERVICES
Clozapine Full Blood Count
Regular FBC testing for clozapine patients is a Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) requirement for all patients receiving clozapine treatment.
We provide Full Blood Count (FBC) monitoring on behalf of our sister company Leyden Delta. Our clozapine FBCs are turned around on the day of receipt.
CLOZAPINE SERVICES
Clozapine Plasma Levels (TDM)
Clozapine plasma levels are widely used to support the management of patients. The Medicines and Healthcare Regulatory Agency (MHRA) advises clozapine level monitoring in certain clinical situations such as:
Suspected toxicity
Changes in smoking habits
Pneumonia or other serious infection
Suspected drug-to-drug interactions
Magna’s clozapine plasma level service is available to all clozapine treatment providers, regardless of clozapine brand
Whilst we state a turn around time of 3 working days from receipt of the sample, the result is ready on the next working day in around 85% of cases
QUALITY & CONVENIENCE
Here at Magna labs, we aim to provide additional convenience for you and your patients
For customers using our clozapine ZTAS service, it is now possible to obtain both clozapine FBC and plasma level results from the same blood sample!
We may also be able to provide a free courier collection service for FBC and plasma level samples. Please contact us to discuss your clinic’s individual needs
Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM)
At Magna labs, we provide therapeutic drug monitoring for a range of non-clozapine antipsychotic medications.
Therapeutic drug monitoring is only required for a relatively small number of drugs, especially those with a narrow therapeutic index. However, for these drugs, TDM is essential for ensuring the drug achieves its maximum efficacy as well as avoiding adverse drug reactions (ADRs).
Aripiprazole
Haloperidol
Risperidone
Paliperidone
Olanzapine
