Olanzapine treats psychiatric conditions by modulating neurotransmitter activity in the brain. It is indicated for: - Schizophrenia: reduction of hallucinations, delusions and thought disorder. - Bipolar I disorder: treatment of acute manic or mixed episodes. - Maintenance therapy: prevention of relapse in schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. - Adjunctive therapy: used with other psychotropics when monotherapy is insufficient.

Olanzapine may cause a range of adverse reactions.

Common Side Effects: - Weight gain: increased appetite leading to gradual weight increase. - Sedation: drowsiness or feeling of being unusually tired. - Dry mouth: reduced salivation causing oral dryness. - 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. - Tardive dyskinesia: involuntary, repetitive facial or limb movements. - Hyperglycaemia: significant rise in blood glucose, possible new‑onset diabetes. - Seizures: occurrence of convulsive episodes. - Agranulocytosis: severe reduction in white‑blood cell count. - Hepatic injury: elevated liver enzymes or liver dysfunction.

When prescribing Olanzapine, clinicians should consider several safety aspects.

- Metabolic monitoring: regularly assess weight, glucose and lipid profiles. - Cardiovascular assessment: check blood pressure and heart rate, especially in patients with orthostatic tendencies. - CNS depression: caution when combined with other sedatives or alcohol. - Pregnancy and lactation: evaluate risk‑benefit ratio; use only if clearly needed. - Elderly patients: start at low dose and monitor for sedation and falls. - Store at ambient temperature: keep in the original packaging, protect from moisture and light.

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