Mode of Action

How Does It Work?

The pharmacological component of Oleanz Rt is a medication called olanzapine. In schizophrenia, there is an excess of certain chemicals, known as serotonin and dopamine, in the brain. This leads to a person experiencing symptoms such as seeing or hearing things that do not exist, feeling unusually suspicious, etc. Olanzapine acts by blocking the actions of these chemicals. As a result, it alleviates the symptoms experienced by the patient.

Interactions

Interactions with other medicines

  • Co-administration of Oleanz Rt 5 mg Tablet with benzodiazepines is not recommended as clozapine can potentiate its actions.
  • Taking Oleanz Rt 5 mg Tablet with Ciprofloxacin is not advisable, as it reduces the metabolism of olanzapine which can lead to toxic levels of the medicine in the body.
  • Using Oleanz Rt 5 mg Tab with carbamazepine is not advisable. The metabolism of olanzapine can be increased when combined with carbamazepine which may reduce its efficacy.

Interactions with food items

  • Oleanz does not have any specific interactions with food. It is recommended to avoid foods containing caffeine as these may increase the side effects of the tablet.
