It produces sedating and neuroleptic effects when administered. Olanzapine can be given [[Routes of Administration#Oral|by mouth]] and can also be [[Routes of Administration#Intramuscular|injected into a muscle.]] Olanzapine might be useful as a trip aborter, especially for stimulants, as it blocks the action of dopamine. {{citation needed}}

==Pharmacology==

Olanzapine is known to cause weight gain and induce diabetes mellitus type 2 more frequently than other [[antipsychotics]]. However, it is less likely to produce tardive dyskinesia or an extrapyramidal reaction. It appears to be an effective treatment for schizophrenia.<ref>Leucht, S., Cipriani, A., Spineli, L., Mavridis, D., Örey, D., Richter, F., ... & Kissling, W. (2013). Comparative efficacy and tolerability of 15 antipsychotic drugs in schizophrenia: a multiple-treatments meta-analysis. The Lancet, 382(9896), 951-962.</ref>
