Olanzapine is an antipsychotic medication primarily used to treat schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. It belongs to a class of drugs known as atypical antipsychotics. Olanzapine works by altering the effects of certain chemicals in the brain, particularly serotonin and dopamine. It can help manage symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions, and mood swings. The medication is often taken orally, available in tablets or as an orally disintegrating tablet. Common side effects include weight gain, drowsiness, and metabolic changes. Regular monitoring by a healthcare provider is essential due to potential side effects. Olanzapine may also be used to treat depression in combination with other medications. It is usually prescribed when other treatments have not been effective. Long-term use should be carefully managed to balance benefits and risks.

How long does it take to see results?
- It may take several weeks to notice the full benefits of olanzapine, though some improvement might be seen sooner.
Can I stop taking olanzapine suddenly?
- No, you should not stop taking olanzapine suddenly without consulting your healthcare provider, as this can lead to withdrawal symptoms or a relapse of symptoms.
What should I do if I miss a dose?
- If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it’s almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose—do not double up.
Can I drink alcohol while taking olanzapine?
