Interactions

Olanzapine, first branded as Zyprexa, is a widely-used antipsychotic substance of the thienobenzodiazepine chemical class. It produces sedating and neuroleptic effects when administered. Olanzapine can be given by mouth and can also be injected into a muscle. Olanzapine might be useful as a trip aborter, especially for stimulants, as it blocks the action of dopamine. [citation needed]

Chemistry

Olanzapine is a thienobenzodiazepine. It includes a piperazine moiety at R4.

Pharmacology

Olanzapine is known to cause weight gain and induce diabetes mellitus type 2 more frequently than other antipsychotics. However, it is less likely to produce tardive dyskinesia or an extrapyramidal reaction. It appears to be an effective treatment for schizophrenia.[2]
