Precautions & Warnings

• Elderly people with dementia-related psychosis have a higher risk of stroke and death with antipsychotics; this medicine is not approved for that use

• Can cause dizziness when standing up; rise slowly from sitting or lying
• Seek urgent help for high fever with muscle stiffness and confusion, or uncontrolled movements of the face or tongue

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Discuss with your doctor before use in pregnancy; use in the last 3 months can cause temporary problems in the newborn. Olanzapine passes into breast milk, so breastfeeding is not recommended.
