Although its full mode of action is not clear, olanzapine is understood to work by blocking dopamine and serotonin (5-HT2) receptors in the brain. Its effect in schizophrenia is thought to come from this combined blockade of dopamine and serotonin type 2 receptors. Olanzapine 5 mg is the active substance in each tablet and it acts on these chemical messenger systems in the brain.

Must not be used by anyone with a known allergy to olanzapine. Check with a doctor first in elderly patients with dementia-related psychosis, as there is an increased risk of death, heart problems and stroke in that group. Check with a doctor first if there is diabetes, high blood sugar, high cholesterol or a family history of these. Check with a doctor first if there is a history of seizures, heart disease, liver problems, low blood pressure or prostate trouble. Check with a doctor first during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and if there are thoughts of self-harm, since close supervision may be needed.
