POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
_Adults_
Schizophrenia: The recommended starting dose for olanzapine is 10

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,

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
