Zyprexa
Generic Name: Olanzapine
Product Name: Zyprexa
Indication of Zyprexa:
Zyprexa is an atypical antipsychotic, antimanic and mood stabilizer. It is used for the management of schizophrenia and related psychoses; acute mania in bipolar 1 disorder (short term therapy +/- lithium or valproate); prevention and recurrence of manic, mixed or depressive episodes.
Action of Zyprexa:
Zyprexa works by blocking various receptors in the brain, particularly dopamine receptors. Dopamine is a natural compound called a neurotransmitter, which is involved in transmitting signals between brain cells. Psychotic illness is considered to be caused by overactivity of dopamine in the brain. Zyprexa blocks the receptors that dopamine acts on, and this prevents the overactivity of dopamine in the brain. This helps to control psychotic illness.
Dose Advice of Zyprexa:
Zyprexa can be administered without regard to meals, and is available in tablet, injection and dissolvable tablet formulations.
