Intended use: Olanzapine determination kit is an in vitro diagnostic test for the detection of olanzapine in human blood.
Olanzapine is benzodiazepine derivative which is used in the management of schizophrenia and also to treat modest to severe mania allied with manic depressive psychosis. TDM should therefore be used as a standard care during olanzapine therapy. TDM is also useful in assessing adherence and may have a role in limiting olanzapine dosage geared at minimizing the risk of long-term toxicity.
