WHAT OLANZAPINE CIPLA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
OLANZAPINE CIPLA belongs to a group of medicines called antipsychotics
and is used to treat the
following conditions:

Schizophrenia, a disease with symptoms such as hearing, seeing or
sensing things which are not
there, mistaken beliefs, unusual suspiciousness, and becoming
withdrawn. People with this
disease may also feel depressed, anxious or tense.
