Zyprexa

What is it?

Composition

The composition of Zyprexa includes the active substance olanzapine, which provides the main therapeutic effect. This substance helps change the chemical processes in the brain, which helps control mental illnesses. The composition of the drug also includes auxiliary components that contribute to its stability and effectiveness.

• Olanzapine
• Flavors and dyes
• Stabilizers and fillers

Each of these components plays a role in ensuring the safety and effectiveness of the drug, helping to improve the condition of patients with serious mental illnesses.

How to use?

Before taking Zyprexa, it is important to make sure you know how to use it correctly. The tablet should be taken orally, leaving it in the package until time of use to prevent damage. Make sure your hands are dry before placing the tablet on your tongue, as it dissolves quickly in saliva. It is not necessary to take the drug with food or water, which makes it more convenient to use.

1. Open the tablet package without squeezing it through the foil.
2. Place the tablet on your tongue, where it will dissolve quickly.
3. Take the medicine at regular intervals, avoiding overdose and sudden stops without consulting your doctor.

Regular intake is important to maintain stable levels of the substance in the body, which will give the best results in treating your condition.

How does it work?

Zyprexa affects the chemical processes in the brain that are responsible for maintaining mental health. Olanzapine, as an active substance, helps regulate and balance neurotransmitters. This action helps control the symptoms of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, improving the quality of life of patients.

The process of action consists of stabilizing moods and reducing the number and intensity of psychotic episodes. Thanks to this effect, patients can return to normal activities and improve social interaction. It is important to remember that the full effect of treatment may appear in a couple of weeks, and therefore regular monitoring by a doctor is extremely important.
