Definition
An atypical antipsychotic medication that blocks multiple neurotransmitter receptors including dopamine and serotonin, used to treat schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Known for significant weight gain and metabolic side effects.
Etymology
Developed by Eli Lilly in the 1990s, the name derives from its chemical classification as a thienobenzodiazepine. The '-ine' suffix is standard in pharmaceutical nomenclature for nitrogen-containing compounds.
Kelly Says
Olanzapine is often considered one of the most effective antipsychotics for severe symptoms, but it comes with a hefty metabolic price - patients can gain 20-30 pounds and develop diabetes. This creates a challenging risk-benefit calculation: it may save someone's mind but potentially harm their body.
