Description
Oleanz 10 Tablet contains Olanzapine, an atypical antipsychotic medication primarily used to manage mental health conditions.
Main Uses
- Schizophrenia
Olanzapine is effective in treating both positive symptoms (e.g., delusions, hallucinations) and negative symptoms (e.g., emotional withdrawal, reduced speech) of schizophrenia. - Bipolar Disorder
It is used to treat acute manic or mixed episodes associated with bipolar I disorder, with or without psychotic features. - Maintenance Treatment of Bipolar Disorder
Olanzapine is also employed for the long-term management of bipolar disorder to prevent recurrence of mood episodes. - Adjunctive Treatment for Depression
In combination with fluoxetine, Olanzapine is used to treat depressive episodes associated with bipolar disorder and treatment-resistant depression.
Mechanism of Action
Olanzapine works by modulating the activity of neurotransmitters in the brain, particularly serotonin and dopamine. This balance helps improve mood, thought processes, and behavior.
