1. What is Olanzapina Accord and what is it used for

Olanzapina Accord contains the active ingredient olanzapine. Olanzapina Accord belongs to a group of
medicines called antipsychotics and is used for the treatment of the following conditions:

• Schizophrenia, a disease characterized by symptoms such as hearing, seeing or perceiving things that have no basis in reality, false beliefs, unusual suspicion and detachment. People affected by this disease may also feel depressed, anxious or tense.
• Moderate to severe manic episodes, a condition with symptoms of excitement or euphoria.

Olanzapina Accord has been shown to prevent the recurrence of these symptoms in patients with bipolar disorder whose manic episodes have responded to treatment with olanzapine.

2. What you need to know before taking Olanzapina Accord

• If you have previously been diagnosed with eye problems, such as certain types of glaucoma (increased pressure inside the eye).
