Olanzapine 15mg Mouth-Dissolving Tablets

Product Introduction

Olanzapine 15mg Mouth-Dissolving Tablets are an atypical antipsychotic treatment for schizophrenia and bipolar I disorder. This formulation dissolves on the tongue and may help people who have difficulty swallowing conventional tablets.

How to use

With dry hands, remove the tablet immediately before taking it and place it on the tongue. Let it dissolve, then swallow with saliva; water is not needed. It can be taken with or without food.

How it works

Olanzapine modulates dopamine and serotonin receptor activity, helping reduce psychosis, mania, agitation, and relapse risk.

Side effects

Possible effects include sleepiness, weight gain, increased appetite, dry mouth, constipation, dizziness, and tremor. Serious concerns include high blood sugar, lipid changes, tardive dyskinesia, neuroleptic malignant syndrome, seizures, and low white blood cells.

Important information

Tell your doctor about diabetes, high cholesterol, weight changes, seizures, dementia-related psychosis, liver disease, glaucoma or prostate problems. Mention pregnancy, breastfeeding, alcohol, sedatives, other central-nervous-system depressants and changes in smoking. It is not approved for dementia-related psychosis in older adults because antipsychotics increase death and stroke risk. Severe upper-abdominal pain, persistent vomiting or marked thirst and frequent urination needs prompt assessment.
