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 raise blood sugar, cholesterol and weight; your doctor may check these regularly
• 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
• Avoid alcohol, and do not drive until you know how it affects you
• In the first weeks, especially in people under 25, thoughts of self-harm can increase; contact your doctor immediately if this happens

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.

Drug Interactions

• Carbamazepine and smoking can lower olanzapine levels
• Fluvoxamine and ciprofloxacin can raise olanzapine levels
• Alcohol and sedatives increase drowsiness
• Levodopa may work less well
• Blood pressure medicines may add to dizziness
• MAO inhibitors, linezolid, tramadol, triptans and other antidepressants can cause serotonin syndrome
• Aspirin, NSAIDs (e.g. ibuprofen) and warfarin may increase bleeding risk
