How it works
From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (Olanzapine). It describes the substance, not this exact product.
The mechanism of action of olanzapine, in the listed indications is unclear.
However, the efficacy of olanzapine in schizophrenia could be mediated through a combination of dopamine and serotonin type 2 (5HT 2 ) antagonism.
It is eliminated extensively by first pass metabolism, with approximately 40% of the dose metabolized before reaching the systemic circulation.
Specific Populations Renal Impairment — Because olanzapine is highly metabolized before excretion and only 7% of the drug is excreted unchanged, renal dysfunction alone is unlikely to have a major impact on the pharmacokinetics of olanzapine.
Food does not affect the rate or extent of olanzapine absorption.
