What is Olanza

Treating schizophrenia. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.
Olanza is an atypical antipsychotic. Exactly how it works is not known. It is thought to affect certain substances in the brain.

Important safety information:

• Olanza may cause dizziness or drowsiness. Use Olanza with caution. Do not drive or perform other possibly unsafe tasks until you know how you react to it.
• Do not drink alcohol while you are using Olanza.
• Talk with your doctor before you use medicines that may cause drowsiness while you are using Olanza; it may add to their effects. Ask your pharmacist if you have questions about which medicines may cause drowsiness.
• Olanza may cause dizziness, light-headedness, or fainting; alcohol, hot weather, exercise, or fever may increase these effects. To prevent them, sit up or stand slowly, especially in the morning. Sit or lie down at the first sign of any of these effects. Tell your doctor or other health care provider if these effects occur.
• Do not become overheated or dehydrated in hot weather or while you are being active; heatstroke may occur.
• If vomiting or diarrhea occurs, you will need to take care not to become dehydrated. Contact your doctor for instructions. Contact your doctor right away if you think you may be dehydrated.
• High blood sugar or diabetes, high cholesterol, and weight gain have happened with medicines like this one. These changes may increase the risk of heart and brain blood vessel disease. Discuss any questions or concerns with your doctor.
• High blood sugar may make you feel confused, drowsy, or thirsty. It can also make you flush, breathe faster, or have a fruit-like breath odor. If these symptoms occur, tell your doctor right away.
• Olanza may lower the ability of your body to fight infection. Avoid contact with people who have colds or infections. Tell your doctor if you notice signs of infection like fever, sore throat, rash, or chills.
• NMS is a possibly fatal syndrome that can be caused by Olanza. Symptoms may include fever, stiff muscles, confusion, abnormal thinking, fast or irregular heartbeat, and sweating. Contact your doctor at once if you have any of these symptoms.
• Some patients who take Olanza may develop muscle movements that they cannot control. This is more likely to happen in elderly patients, especially women. The chance that this will happen or that it will become permanent is greater in those who take Olanza in higher doses or for a long time. Muscle problems may also occur after short-term treatment with low doses. Tell your doctor at once if you have muscle problems with your arms; legs; or your tongue, face, mouth, or jaw (eg, chewing movements, mouth puckering, puffing of cheeks, tongue sticking out) while taking Olanza.
• Some patients have experienced weight gain while using Olanza. You may need to have regular weight checks while you use Olanza.
• Lab tests, including fasting blood glucose, cholesterol, complete blood cell counts, and liver function, may be performed while you use Olanza. These tests may be used to monitor your condition or check for side effects. Be sure to keep all doctor and lab appointments.
• Use Olanza with caution in the ELDERLY; they may be more sensitive to its effects.
• Caution is advised when using Olanza in CHILDREN; they may be more sensitive to its effects, especially drowsiness, increased cholesterol and lipid levels, increased levels of prolactin (a hormone), and weight gain. Children may need regular weight checks while they take Olanza.
• PREGNANCY and BREAST-FEEDING: If you become pregnant, contact your doctor. You will need to discuss the benefits and risks of using Olanza while you are pregnant. Using Olanza during the third trimester may result in uncontrolled muscle movements or withdrawal symptoms in the newborn. Discuss any questions or concerns with your doctor. Olanza is found in breast milk. Do not breast-feed while using Olanza.
