Olanzapine(Cat No.:A000340)is an atypical antipsychotic used to treat schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and treatment-resistant depression. It works by modulating neurotransmitter activity, particularly dopamine and serotonin, helping to reduce psychotic symptoms like hallucinations, delusions, and mood instability. Olanzapine is known for its effectiveness in managing both the positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia, as well as manic and depressive episodes in bipolar disorder. While it is highly effective, olanzapine is associated with side effects such as weight gain and metabolic changes, which require monitoring during long-term use.
