Pharmacy - depression


Expert: Dr Alan Galbraith - 9/12/2009

Question
dear sir,
olanzapine mouth dissolving tablet is creats  any sexual dysfunction,

Answer
Dear Majid

I am unsure of the meaning of your question but presume you are asking whether olanzapine causes any sexual dysfunction. To this the answer would be no although in very rare instances it has been known to cause priapism (sustained and painful erection). Also you state in your subject "depression". Olanzapine is not a true antidepressant although it is used in bipolar disorders and does help in the depressive phase of such disorders.

Regards

Dr Alan Galbraith
