Adverse reactions with olanzapine IM and IV may include: dizziness, drowsiness, postural hypotension, bradycardia, and respiratory depression.
Monitor the patient closely. If dizziness and/or drowsiness are noted, the patient should remain recumbent until examination indicates postural hypotension and/or bradycardia are not a problem

Olanzapine extended-release injectable suspension (Zyprexa Relprevv®) has not been requested for formulary status and is not routinely stocked by sites due to the REMS program. The goal of the Zyprexa Relprevv REMS is to mitigate the risk of negative outcomes associated with post-injection delirium/sedation syndrome (PDSS), and includes health care provider, patient, pharmacy and health care settings requirements for dispensing.
See Legacy Health REMS Requirements for detail.
