Olanzapine is a prescription antipsychotic medicine used to manage certain mental health conditions, including schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. It belongs to the atypical antipsychotic class and works by affecting specific chemical messengers in the brain, including dopamine and serotonin, to help manage symptoms such as hallucinations, disturbed thinking, and mood changes. Olanzapine is available in different strengths and formulations, depending on the product and the patient's treatment requirements. The appropriate dosage and duration of treatment should always be determined by a qualified healthcare professional.
