Overview Oltha 15mg Tablet

Olanzapine 15mg tablets treat schizophrenia (a mental illness causing hallucinations, delusions, and impaired thinking/behavior) and mania. Administer with or without food, but consistently at the same time daily for optimal blood levels. Follow your doctor's prescribed dosage and duration. If a dose is missed, take it immediately upon recall. Never discontinue use abruptly; consult your physician first to avoid symptom exacerbation. Common side effects include dry mouth, constipation, muscle stiffness, and agitation. Initially, postural hypotension (sudden blood pressure drops upon standing) may occur; rise slowly from sitting or lying. Drowsiness and dizziness are also possible; avoid driving or mentally demanding tasks until the drug's effects are known. Weight gain, elevated blood sugar, and increased cholesterol are potential side effects, mitigated by a healthy diet and exercise. Rare but serious adverse events include severe hyperglycemia and seizures.
