WHAT OLAZAX DISPERZI IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Olazax Disperzi contains the active substance olanzapine. Olazax
Disperzi 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withdrawn.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.

CLINICAL PARTICULARS

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

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
