Main Article Content

Abstract

Olanzapine belongs to a group of the most effective antipsychotics. The new long-term treatment data show also that olanzapine enables relatively the most extended life-span. On the other hand, some patients may experience the substantial weight grow. However, the new orally- disintegrating form of olanzapine provides the opportunity to reduce that risk. Moreover, it is related to the better therapeutic compliance.
