Olanzapine is indicated for psychiatric conditions that involve dopamine and serotonin dysregulation.

- Schizophrenia: helps reduce hallucinations, delusions and thought disorder. - Bipolar I disorder (manic phase): assists in controlling acute manic episodes. - Bipolar I disorder (maintenance): supports long‑term mood stabilization. - Schizoaffective disorder: alleviates both psychotic and mood symptoms. - Psychotic depression: augments antidepressant therapy to improve depressive and psychotic features.

Olanzapine may cause a range of adverse reactions, most of which are dose‑dependent and reversible.

Common Side Effects: - Weight gain: increased appetite and caloric intake. - Sedation: drowsiness or feeling of being unusually tired. - Dry mouth: reduced salivation. - Constipation: slowed gastrointestinal motility. - Elevated triglycerides: rise in blood lipid levels. - Orthostatic hypotension: drop in blood pressure upon standing.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Neuroleptic malignant syndrome: high fever, muscle rigidity, autonomic instability. - Hyperglycaemia: significant increase in blood glucose, potentially leading to diabetes. - Tardive dyskinesia: involuntary, repetitive movements, often of the face. - Seizures: risk of convulsive episodes, especially at higher doses. - Agranulocytosis: severe reduction in white‑blood cell count. - Hepatotoxicity: liver enzyme elevations or liver injury.

When prescribing Olanzapine, clinicians should consider several safety aspects.

- Metabolic monitoring: regularly assess weight, fasting glucose and lipid profile. - Cardiovascular assessment: monitor blood pressure and heart rate, especially during initiation. - CNS depression: caution patients about operating machinery or driving if drowsiness occurs. - Pregnancy and lactation: evaluate risk‑benefit ratio; use only if clearly needed. - Drug‑induced movement disorders: watch for early signs of tardive dyskinesia. - Store at below 25°C: keep in the original packaging, protect from moisture and direct sunlight.

Olanzapine can interact with a variety of medicines, altering its efficacy or safety profile.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Strong CYP1A2 inhibitors (e.g., fluvoxamine): may increase olanzapine plasma levels. - CNS depressants (e.g., benzodiazepines, alcohol): additive sedation. - Anticholinergic agents: heightened anticholinergic burden.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - CYP3A4 inducers (e.g., carbamazepine, phenytoin): may reduce olanzapine concentrations. - Antihypertensive drugs: potential for enhanced hypotensive effect. - Lithium: may increase risk of neurotoxic effects.
