Composition:-
OLANZAPINE MOUTH DISSOLVING TABLET 10 MG
Uses:-
Olanzapine mouth dissolving tablet (MDT) 10 mg is a medication used to treat certain mental/mood disorders such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. It belongs to a class of drugs known as atypical antipsychotics and works by helping to restore the balance of certain natural substances in the brain. Olanzapine MDT is particularly beneficial for individuals who have difficulty swallowing conventional tablets as it dissolves rapidly in the mouth without the need for water. This formulation provides convenience and ease of administration for patients, especially those with swallowing difficulties or who may have adherence issues with traditional oral medications. Olanzapine MDT effectively reduces symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions, and mood disturbances associated with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, allowing patients to better manage their condition and improve their quality of life.
Side Effects:-
Like all medications, olanzapine MDT 10 mg may cause side effects in some individuals. Common side effects include drowsiness, dizziness, constipation, dry mouth, weight gain, and increased appetite. These side effects are usually mild to moderate in severity and may improve over time as the body adjusts to the medication. However, some patients may experience more serious side effects such as metabolic changes (e.g., elevated blood sugar or cholesterol levels), extrapyramidal symptoms (e.g., tremors, stiffness, or involuntary movements), or neuroleptic malignant syndrome (a rare but potentially life-threatening reaction). Patients should be monitored regularly for any signs of adverse effects, and any concerning symptoms should be reported to a healthcare provider promptly for evaluation and management.
Indication:-
Olanzapine MDT 10 mg is indicated for the treatment of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder (manic or mixed episodes). It is prescribed for adults and adolescents aged 13 years and older to manage symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions, disorganized thinking, and mood swings. Olanzapine MDT helps stabilize mood and reduce the frequency and severity of psychotic episodes, allowing individuals to function better in daily life and maintain social relationships. It is often used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan that may include other medications, psychotherapy, and supportive interventions tailored to the patient’s specific needs.
