What is Zyprexa Zydis?

Zyprexa Zydis is a prescription drug used to treat schizophrenia and the manic periods of bipolar disorder (manic-depressive illness). Zyprexa Zydis is an atypical or “second generation” antipsychotic that does not have some of the more serious side effects of earlier antipsychotics, such as involuntary muscle movements.

The active ingredient in Zyprexa Zydis, olanzapine, balances critical chemicals in the brain and so blocks the brain activity that causes psychosis and mania. While not completely understood, olanzapine blocks dopamine, a chemical responsible for passing signals between nerves, in a critical part of the brain and so reduces the positive symptoms of schizophrenia and mania, such as hallucinations, delusions, disorganized thinking, and disorganized speech. It also works similarly on serotonin, another chemical that passes signals from one nerve to another, and so improves the negative symptoms of these conditions, such as depression, lack of emotion, and poor attention.

Zyprexa Zydis is administered as a tablet that disintegrates within the mouth, as distinct from regular Zyprexa tablet or injection.

What are the side effects of Zyprexa Zydis?

Common side effects include headache, dizziness, lightheadedness, increased appetite, weight gain, loss of bladder control, back pain, and missed menstrual periods. The most serious side effects are high blood sugar, liver problems, and nervous system reactions, such as uncontrolled muscle movements, rigid muscles, fast heartbeat, and tremors. Zyprexa Zydis is not addictive but will cause withdrawal symptoms when discontinued.

Mental and mood changes are common side effects and include memory problems, confusion, hallucinations, and unusual thoughts, among others. Allergic reactions to Zyprexa Zydis are rare and may include fever, itching, swollen lymph nodes, and rash, among other symptoms.

This is not a complete list of side effects that may occur. Consult with your doctor or pharmacist about possible side effects before taking this medicine.
