Zyprexa is primarily used to treat mental health disorders such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. This medication works by altering the activity of certain chemicals in the brain, which helps reduce symptoms associated with these conditions, such as hallucinations, disorganized thoughts, and severe mood swings. It may sometimes be prescribed with other medications as part of a broader treatment plan to improve patient response and reduce depressive episodes associated with bipolar disorder.
Zyprexa should only be used under the supervision of a specialist doctor and according to specific instructions to avoid side effects or drug interactions.
