Lentris 10mg Capsule is a medication containing the active ingredient Olanzapine. It belongs to a class of drugs known as atypical antipsychotics. Olanzapine works by affecting the activity of certain chemical messengers (neurotransmitters) in the brain, particularly dopamine and serotonin, which are believed to play a role in mood and behavior. This helps to manage symptoms associated with certain mental health conditions.
Lentris 10mg Capsule is primarily indicated for the treatment of schizophrenia and moderate manic episodes in bipolar disorder. It may also be used in combination with other medications to maintain mood stability in patients with bipolar disorder. The typical dosage is one capsule daily, but it should be taken exactly as prescribed by a healthcare professional. It can be taken with or without food.
Common side effects may include weight gain, drowsiness, dizziness, dry mouth, and constipation. Less common but more serious side effects can occur, so it is important to discuss any concerns with your doctor. Store Lentris 10mg Capsule at room temperature, away from moisture and heat, and keep it out of reach of children.
