Zyprexa Zydis contains the active ingredient olanzapine. It is an orally disintegrating prescription tablet used to treat certain mental health conditions.
Zyprexa Zydis is used to treat schizophrenia in adults and adolescents 13 to 17 years of age.
Schizophrenia can cause symptoms such as:
Olanzapine may help reduce these symptoms and improve thinking, mood, and daily functioning.
Zyprexa Zydis may be used to treat manic or mixed episodes associated with bipolar I disorder in adults and adolescents 13 to 17 years of age.
A manic episode may include symptoms such as:
In adults, olanzapine may also be used for maintenance treatment of bipolar I disorder to help reduce the risk of future mood episodes.
In adults, Zyprexa Zydis may also be used with lithium or valproate to treat manic or mixed episodes associated with bipolar I disorder.
Olanzapine may be used together with fluoxetine to treat depressive episodes associated with bipolar I disorder.
Olanzapine alone is not indicated for bipolar depression.
Zyprexa Zydis belongs to a group of medications called atypical antipsychotics.
Olanzapine affects several chemical messengers in the brain, including dopamine and serotonin.
By changing the activity of these neurotransmitters, it can help reduce symptoms of schizophrenia and stabilize mood in people with bipolar I disorder.
Zyprexa Zydis is not specifically indicated for the rapid treatment of acute agitation.
The intramuscular form of Zyprexa is the formulation approved for agitation associated with schizophrenia or bipolar I mania in adults.
Zyprexa Zydis is an orally disintegrating tablet that dissolves in your mouth.
Take it exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider, usually once daily.
You may take Zyprexa Zydis with or without food.
Keep the tablet in its packaging until you are ready to take it.
When it is time for your dose:
You may take Zyprexa Zydis with or without liquid.
For adults with schizophrenia, the usual starting dose is 5 to 10 mg once daily.
The usual target dose is 10 mg once daily within several days.
Your healthcare provider may adjust your dose based on how well the medication works and how well you tolerate it.
For adults with a manic or mixed episode of bipolar I disorder, the usual starting dose is 10 or 15 mg once daily.
If Zyprexa Zydis is used together with lithium or valproate, the usual starting dose is 10 mg once daily.
Zyprexa Zydis is not recommended in doses above 20 mg per day.
Do not increase, decrease, or stop your dose without speaking with your healthcare provider.
Try to take Zyprexa Zydis at about the same time every day.
Taking it consistently can help maintain a steady amount of medication in your body.
Your healthcare provider may gradually adjust your dose depending on your symptoms, side effects, and response to treatment.
Do not take more or less medication than prescribed, and do not stop Zyprexa Zydis suddenly unless your healthcare provider tells you to.
Zyprexa Zydis (Olanzapine) is available in the following forms and strength:
Zyprexa Zydis can cause significant weight gain and changes in blood sugar and cholesterol levels.
Your healthcare provider may monitor your:
Tell your healthcare provider if you develop symptoms of high blood sugar, such as increased thirst, frequent urination, increased hunger, or unusual weakness.
Drowsiness and Trouble Thinking Clearly
Zyprexa Zydis may cause:
Do not drive, operate machinery, or perform other activities that require alertness until you know how the medication affects you.
Olanzapine can cause a sudden drop in blood pressure when you stand up.
This is called orthostatic hypotension.
Symptoms may include:
Stand up slowly from a sitting or lying position, especially when you first start treatment or after your dose is increased.
Avoid or limit alcohol while taking Zyprexa Zydis.
Alcohol may increase drowsiness, dizziness, and low blood pressure caused by olanzapine.
Tell your healthcare provider about other medications that can make you sleepy, because their effects may be increased when taken with Zyprexa Zydis.
Rarely, Zyprexa Zydis can cause a serious and potentially life-threatening condition called neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS).
Seek emergency medical attention if you develop symptoms such as:
NMS requires immediate medical treatment.
Zyprexa Zydis may cause tardive dyskinesia, a movement disorder that can sometimes become permanent.
Symptoms may include uncontrolled or repetitive movements of the:
Tell your healthcare provider right away if you notice unusual or uncontrolled movements.
Zyprexa Zydis should be used carefully in people who have a history of seizures or conditions that may increase the risk of seizures.
Tell your healthcare provider if you have ever had a seizure before starting treatment.
Tell your healthcare provider if you have heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, low blood pressure, or another condition that may make you more sensitive to changes in blood pressure.
Your healthcare provider may monitor you more closely during treatment.
Tell your healthcare provider if you have liver or kidney problems.
Olanzapine is mainly processed by the liver. Kidney impairment does not usually require a dose adjustment, but your healthcare provider will consider your overall health when deciding on the most appropriate dose.
Zyprexa Zydis is not approved to treat dementia-related psychosis.
Older adults with dementia-related psychosis who take antipsychotic medications have an increased risk of death.
Olanzapine has also been associated with a higher risk of cerebrovascular events, including stroke and transient ischemic attack (TIA), in this population.
People with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder may experience depression, suicidal thoughts, or changes in behaviour as part of their underlying condition.
Tell your healthcare provider right away if you notice:
Seek immediate help if you are in danger of harming yourself or someone else.
Contact your healthcare provider if you develop severe drowsiness, fainting, uncontrolled movements, significant weight gain, high blood sugar symptoms, or any new or worsening symptoms while taking Zyprexa Zydis.
Do not stop taking Zyprexa Zydis or change your dose without speaking with your healthcare provider.
Use Zylet for as long as your healthcare provider recommends. Do not use it more often or for longer than prescribed. Because Zylet contains a corticosteroid, longer treatment may increase the risk of side effects such as increased eye pressure, glaucoma, cataracts, or infection. If your symptoms do not begin to improve after about 2 days, contact your healthcare provider. Try to use Zylet at the same times each day so you do not miss a dose.
Some people may notice improvement in redness, swelling, or discomfort within the first few days. How quickly Zylet works depends on the cause and severity of your eye condition. Contact your healthcare provider if your symptoms are not improving after about 2 days, or if they become worse.
Store Zylet upright at room temperature, usually between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). Do not freeze it. Keep the bottle tightly closed and out of the reach of children and pets. Shake the bottle well before each use because Zylet is a suspension.
You should generally avoid wearing contact lenses while you have an active eye infection or inflammation. Zylet also contains benzalkonium chloride, a preservative that can be absorbed by soft contact lenses. Ask your eye-care professional when it is safe to start wearing your contact lenses again.
If you miss a dose, use the drops as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Do not use extra drops to make up for a missed dose.
