Terapeutiska indikationer:

Oral olanzapine is indicated for the treatment of schizophrenia. Efficacy was established in three clinical trials in adult patients with schizophrenia: two 6-week trials and one maintenance trial. In adolescent patients with schizophrenia (ages 13 to 17), efficacy was established in one 6-week trial [see Clinical Studies (14.1)]. When deciding among the alternative treatments available for adolescents, clinicians should consider the increased potential (in adolescents as compared with adults) for weight gain and dislipidemia. Clinicians should consider the potential long-term risks when prescribing to adolescents, and in many cases this may lead them to consider prescribing other drugs first in adolescents [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5)]. Monotherapy — Oral olanzapine is indicated for the acute treatment of manic or mixed episodes associated with bipolar I disorder and maintenance treatment of bipolar I disorder. Efficacy was established in three clinical trials in adult patients with manic or mixed ep

Medication Guide
Olanzapine (oh-LAN-za-peen) Orally Disintegrating Tablet
Read the Medication Guide that comes with Olanzapine Orally
Disintegrating Tablets before you start taking
it and each time you get a refill. There may be new information. This
Medication Guide does not take the
place of talking to your doctor about your medical condition or
treatment. Talk with your doctor or
pharmacist if there is something you do not understand or you want to
learn more about olanzapine.
What is the most important information I should know about olanzapine?
Olanzapine may cause serious side effects, including:
•
Increased risk of death in elderly people who are confused, have
memory loss and have lost touch
with reality (dementia-related psychosis).
•
High blood sugar (hyperglycemia).
•
High fat levels in your blood (increased cholesterol and
triglycerides), especially in teenagers age 13
to 17 or when used in combination with fluoxetine in children age 10
to 17.
•
Weight gain, especially in teenagers age 13 to 17 or when used in
combination with fluoxetine in
children age 10 to 17.
These serious side effects are described below.
1. Increased risk of death in elderly people who are confused, have
memory loss and have lost touch with
reality (dementia-related psychosis). Olanzapine is not approved for
treating psychosis in elderly people with
dementia.
2. High blood sugar (hyperglycemia). High blood sugar can happen if
you have diabetes already or if you
have never had diabetes. High blood sugar could lead to:
•
a build up of acid in your blood due to ketones (ketoacidosis)
•
coma
•
death
Your doctor should do tests to check your blood sugar before you start
taking olanzapine and during
treatment. In people who do not have diabetes, sometimes high blood
sugar goes away when olanzapine is
stopped. People with diabetes and some people who did not have
diabetes before taking olanzapine need to
take medicine for high blood s
