How Does It Work?

Olanzapine works by modulating the activity of various neurotransmitters in the brain, particularly dopamine and serotonin. It helps in correcting the chemical imbalances that contribute to psychotic symptoms and mood disorders. By blocking certain receptors in the brain, Olanzapine reduces the activity of dopamine and serotonin, which helps in alleviating symptoms of hallucinations, delusions, and mood disturbances.
