Olanzapine

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Olanzapine (also Zyprexa) is an anti-psychotic medicine for bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. It can also treat anxiety conditions. It is also widely used 'off-label' for prevention of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting[1]

Eli Lilly manufactured the original medicine, which is now widely available in generic form from many companies.
