Effectiveness
How Zyprexa Relprevv Affects Patients
Olanzapine works by targeting two different receptors in the brain - the dopamine D2 receptor and the serotonin 5HT2A receptor. This action has been found to be effective in reducing symptoms of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder in adults and acute episodes of bipolar disorder in adolescents. It has also been demonstrated to be successful in reducing chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. Studies have shown that olanzapine can produce a complete response in 84% of individuals and control nausea and vomiting for over 80%.
How Zyprexa Relprevv works in the body
Olanzapine works by blocking various receptors in the brain, including dopamine and serotonin receptors. Blocking dopamine receptors in the mesolimbic pathway is key to its activity. Olanzapine binds to these receptors and makes it harder for dopamine to activate them. It also affects serotonin 5HT2A receptors in the frontal cortex, which helps reduce unwanted side effects.
