WHAT TORRENIA ODT IS
USED FOR
Torrenia ODT belongs to a group
of medicines called antipsychotics.
It helps to correct chemical
imbalances in the brain, which
may cause mental illness.
Torrenia ODT is used to treat
symptoms of schizophrenia and
related psychoses. Schizophrenia
is a mental illness with
disturbances in thinking, feelings
and behaviour.
Torrenia ODT alone, or in
combination with lithium or
valproate, is used for the short-
term treatment of acute manic
episodes associated with Bipolar I
Disorder. Torrenia ODT is also a
mood stabiliser that prevents
further occurrences of the
disabling high and low
(depressed) extremes of mood
associated with Bipolar I Disorder.
Bipolar I Disorder is a mental
illness with symptoms such as
feeling “high”, having excessive
amounts of energy, needing
much less sleep than usual,

PHARMACOLOGY
PHARMACODYNAMICS
ACTIONS: Olanzapine is an atypical antipsychotic, antimanic and mood
stabilising agent that
demonstrates a broad pharmacological profile across a number of
receptor systems.

indicated 5HT, dopamine and cholinergic antagonism consistent with the
receptor binding profile.
Olanzapine demonstrated a greater _in vitro _affinity for serotonin

activity. Electrophysiological studies demonstrated that
olanzapine selectively reduced the firing of mesolimbic (A10)
dopaminergic neurons, while having
little effect on the striatal (A9) pathways involved in motor
function. Olanzapine reduced a
conditioned avoidance response,
