Abstract

Generic counterparts of brand second generation antipsychotics are widely used in Poland in the treatment of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, although clinical efficacy of most of them wasn’t established in clinical trials. The paper presents results of open-label post-authorization clinical trials of KRKA’s olanzapine that proved clinical effects of this medication in people with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.
