CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
_Adults _
Olanzapine is indicated for the treatment of schizophrenia.
Olanzapine is effective in maintaining the clinical improvement during
continuation therapy in
patients who have shown an initial treatment response.
Olanzapine is indicated for the treatment of moderate to severe manic
episode. In patients whose
manic episode has responded to olanzapine treatment, olanzapine is
indicated for the prevention of
recurrence in patients with bipolar disorder (see section 5.1).
4.2
POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
_Adults _
Schizophrenia: The recommended starting dose for olanzapine is 10
mg/day.
Manic episode: The starting dose is 15 mg as a single daily dose in
monotherapy or 10 mg daily in
combination therapy (see section 5.1).
Preventing recurrence in bipolar disorder
:
The recommended starting dose is 10 mg/day.
For patients who have been receiving olanzapine for treatment of manic
episode, continue therapy for
preventing recurrence at the same dose. If a new manic, mixed, or
depressive episode occurs,
olanzapine treatment should be continued (with dose optimisation as
needed), with supplementary
therapy to treat mood symptoms, as clinically indicated.
During treatment for schizophrenia, manic episode and recurrence
prevention in bipolar disorder,
daily dosage may subsequently be adjusted on the basis of individual
clinical status within the range
5-20 mg/day. An increase to a dose greater than the recommended
starting dose is advised only after
appropriate clinical reassessment and should generally occur at
intervals of not less than 24
