Appropriate studies performed to date have not demonstrated geriatric-specific problems that would limit the usefulness of olanzapine in the elderly. However, elderly patients are more likely to have dementia or age-related liver, kidney, or heart problems, which may require caution or an adjustment...

However, elderly patients are more likely to have dementia or age-related liver, kidney, or heart problems, which may require...
Olanzapine may cause serious side effects such as an increased risk of death or stroke in elderly patients with dementia, a higher risk of suicide when taken with fluoxetine, metabolic changes, tardive dyskinesia, low blood pressure, and blood cell disorders. See the warnings below for a full ...
The elimination half-life (t1/2β) of olanzapine is about 30 hours for healthy volunteers and is prolonged in female and elderly individuals. The clearance (CL) of olanzapine ranges from 12 to 47 L/h in healthy volunteers but is decreased in females and elderly individuals. The ...
