Used For:

Olanzapine is an atypical antipsychotic medication used to treat schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. It is also prescribed for the management of major depressive disorder in combination with other antidepressants. Olanzapine works by altering the activity of certain chemicals in the brain, such as dopamine and serotonin, which are involved in mood regulation and thought processes. It can help reduce symptoms like delusions, hallucinations, mood swings, and agitation.

Side Effects:

Common side effects of olanzapine include weight gain, drowsiness, dizziness, dry mouth, constipation, and increased appetite. It may also lead to metabolic changes such as elevated blood sugar or cholesterol levels, which can increase the risk of diabetes and cardiovascular problems with prolonged use. Rare but serious side effects include movement disorders (such as tremors or stiffness), tardive dyskinesia, and an increased risk of stroke, especially in elderly patients with dementia-related psychosis.

Precautions:

Olanzapine should be used with caution in individuals with a history of diabetes, cardiovascular problems, or liver disease, as it may exacerbate these conditions. It can cause sedation, so caution is advised when driving or operating heavy machinery. Olanzapine may increase the risk of weight gain and metabolic issues, so regular monitoring of weight, blood sugar, and lipid levels is recommended. It should not be stopped abruptly, as doing so can lead to withdrawal symptoms or a relapse of the underlying condition. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their healthcare provider before using olanzapine.
