DESCRIPTION
Oleanz (Olanzapine) is an atypical antipsychotic. It is dopamine antagonist and belongs to the class of thienobenzodiazepines. The precise mechanism of action of Olanzapine is unknown. It is proposed that its efficacy in treating schizophrenia is provided by antagonism of dopamine in the mesolimbic pathway and serotonin type 2 in the frontal cortex, which reduces positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia.
Oleanz (Olanzapine), marketed among other brand names, is an atypical antipsychotic medication primarily used to treat schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and other psychotic conditions. It is classified as a second-generation antipsychotic, working by modulating several neurotransmitter systems in the brain, especially dopamine and serotonin pathways.
Oleanz (Olanzapine) acts mainly as an antagonist at dopamine D2 receptors and serotonin 5HT2A receptors. By blocking dopamine receptors in the mesolimbic pathway, it reduces the positive symptoms of schizophrenia, such as hallucinations and delusions. Its serotonin receptor antagonism helps decrease negative symptoms like social withdrawal and cognitive impairment. Oleanz also affects multiple other receptors, including dopamine D1, D3, D4, muscarinic cholinergic, histamine H1, and alpha-1 adrenergic receptors, contributing to its therapeutic effects and side effect profile.
