Olanzapine belongs to a drug class known as atypical antipsychotics. Other members of this class includeclozapine(Clozaril),risperidone(Risperdal),aripiprazole(Abilify) andziprasidone(Geodon). The exact mechanism of action of olanzapine is not known. It may work by blocking receptors for several neuro...
What is olanzapine, and how does it work (mechanism of action)? Olanzapine is a drug that is used to treat schizophrenia and acute manic episodes associated with bipolar I disorder. Olanzapine belongs to a drug class known as atypical antipsychotics. Other members of this class include clozapine...
How does olanzapine work (mechanism of action)? Olanzapine belongs to a group of medicines called second-generation (atypical) antipsychotics. It is thought to work by balancing brain chemicals called serotonin and dopamine. These chemicals are known to affect thoughts and mood. ...
[135]. The mechanism of action by which EA improves both gastric motility and dyspeptic symptoms is by enhancing vagal efferent activity and suppressing anorexigenic hormones glucagon-like peptide-1 andpeptide YY[136]. More than 75% of more than 100 patients on chemotherapy achieved considerable ...
Background The mechanism of action of olanzapine in treating schizophrenia is not clear. This research reports the effects of a therapeutic equivalent treatment of olanzapine on DNA methylation in a rat model in vivo. Genome-wide DNA methylation was assessed using a MeDIP-chip analysis. All ...
12.1 Mechanism of Action The mechanism of action of olanzapine, in the listed indications is unclear. However, the efficacy of olanzapine in schizophrenia could be mediated through a combination of dopamine and serotonin type 2 (5HT2) antagonism. 12.2 Pharmacodynamics Olanzapine binds with high affi...

The mechanism of action of olanzapine relies on its higher affinity for 5-HT2A serotonin receptors than D2 dopamine receptors, which are antagonised by the molecule. In addition to that, the antagonism of 5HT2C receptors may contribute to reduce cognitive and affective symptoms in some patients ...
O lanzapine is classed as an atypical antipsychotic and is considered a firstline agent in the management of newly diagnosed psychosis. It has a similar mechanism of action to classical antipsychotics but with a lower incidence of adverse events. O lanzapine rarely produces hypotension and has les...
