initial draft. This will contain a myriad of information and will be formatted later :) --Corticosteroid (talk) 22:58, 20 October 2017 (CEST)
Olanzapine, first branded as Zyprexa, is a widely-used antipsychotic substance of the thienobenzodiazepine chemical class. It produces sedating and neuroleptic effects when administered. Olanzapine is known to cause weight gain and help induce Diabetes mellitus type 2 more frequently than other antipsychotics. On the other hand, it has less of a chance of producing tardive dyskinesia or an extrapyramidal reaction and also seems to treat schizophrenia very effectively.[1] Olanzapine can be given by mouth and can also be injected into a muscle. Telenzepine is another agent that shares the thienobenzodiazepine core structure.
