What is Zyprexa?
Zyprexa, which has the generic name olanzapine, was introduced in 1996 and is currently marketed by Eli Lilly and Company. Zyprexa falls into the category of pharmaceuticals known as second-generation or atypical antipsychotics, which were introduced as a new class of medications for the treatment of schizophrenia. The drugs classified as atypical antipsychotics are prescribed for the treatment of symptoms associated with schizophrenia and bipolar I disorder. Schizophrenia, a mental illness that can distort the way you perceive the world around you, may include symptoms such as delusions, hearing voices or seeing things. People with bipolar I disorder, a mood disorder also known as manic-depressive disorder, may suffer from manic episodes. In addition to Zyprexa, other medications that fall into the atypical antipsychotic category include Abilify, Risperdal, and Seroquel.
