Understanding the Common Side Effects of Olmesartan (brand name: Benicar, which is registered trademark),

Welcome to our educational video by Dr. Lukasz Kiljanek, a Board Certified Nephrologist, Hypertension Specialist, and Internal Medicine physician.

Olmesartan a widely prescribed medication for high blood pressure (hypertension), heart failure or kidney disease. While it is highly effective, it's important to be aware of potential side effects. In this video, we'll discuss common side effects.

Cough: Some people might experience a persistent dry cough while taking Olmesartan. If you develop a cough, let your healthcare provider know. There are other medications that provide almost the same benefits as Olmesartan but may not cause a cough.

Dizziness: Dizziness can happen, especially if your blood pressure lowers too much or if you are dehydrated.

High Potassium level: Olmesartan can cause your potassium levels to become high. Your healthcare provider will likely monitor your potassium levels, usually 3-4 weeks after starting Olmesartan or increasing the dose of Olmesartan to make sure potassium stays within a safe range.

Increased creatinine level: Creatinine level can go up, and this sometimes indicates that the medication is actually working. Blood work will be needed to monitor creatinine levels to ensure it remains within safe ranges, usually 3-4 weeks after starting Olmesartan or increasing the dose of Olmesartan.

Always notify your healthcare provider if you develop any side effects or have any concerns or questions about your medication. They can provide the best advice and support for your specific situation.

How to use Olanzapine? (Zyprexa, zydis, zypadhera) - Doctor Explains Side Effects 2 Views • 5 months ago

In this video we will cover everything you need to know about Olanzapine, also known as Zyprexa. This video is part of a video series on mental health problems. So for more mental health related videos check out this playlist:
https://www.youtube.com/playli....st?list=PLaG3Bo3L0gX

Generic name: Olanzapine.
Brand names: Zyprexa, zydis and zypadhera.
Available as a tablet and injection.

How to use it?
Swallow the tablet completely with half a glass of water. Do not break them and don’t chew on them.
When using injections: These will be administered by your doctor or nurse into your buttock muscle.

Duration of treatment:
The duration of treatment depends on the indication of use and the severity of your symptoms. If your symptoms improve with the use of Olanzapine you usually have to keep using it for 12-24 more months. And sometimes multiple years.

When to use it?
Olanzapine is part of a group of drugs called antipsychotics. It can be used to treat several mental health conditions:
- Schizophrenia.
- Manic episodes in bipolar disorder.

What is the correct dosage?
Unfortunately I can’t provide you with guidelines for the correct dosages, as these differ a lot depending on the specific indication, the side effects you experience and the severity of your complaints.
Usually your doctor starts with a low dose and quickly builds it up over a few days. Afterwards your maintenance dose will be adapted throughout your treatment based on the blood levels of Olanzapine you will be having.
Therefore always use the prescribed dose and frequency your doctor gave you.

What are the side-effects?
Very common (10+%): sleepiness, low blood pressure, weight gain and sexual dysfunction (erectile dysfunction, decreased libido).
Common (1-10%): increased appetite, changes in your blood values, constipation, dry mouth, dizziness, tiredness, fever, joint pain, rash and visual hallucinations.
Uncommon (0.1-1%): allergic reaction, stuttering and thrombosis.

Safety:
- You should be careful to combine Olanzapine with alcohol. As this might increase the dazing effect of Olanzapine.
- In addition it is usually safe to drive while using this drug, however it can cause you to become drowsy, sleepy and/or dizzy. If you experiencing any of these side effects then please do not drive.
- Lastly, Olanzapine can have interactions with several drugs. Therefore always discuss this with your treating physician.

Pregnancy and Lactation:
Olanzapine can often be used safely in both cases, however always discuss this with your doctor, as there are some exceptions.

1. What is Zyprexa? Zyprexa is an atypical antipsychotic

2. What is Zyprexa (Olanzapine) used for? Zyprexa is used in the treatment of schizophrenia and sometimes for the stabilization of bipolar. These diagnoses are sometimes however confused with hypoglycemia, drug use, and spiritual crisis.

3. What does Zyprexa Withdrawal look like? Since there is a dopamine surge coming off of Zyprexa, the withdrawal generally looks like a return of the original symptoms. Typical signs are mania, psychosis, inability to sleep, lack of desire to eat. This can be lessened by doing a very slow withdrawal and avoiding stimulants like caffeine.

4. Am I schizophrenic if I take Zyprexa? No, but sometimes the drug itself can create symptoms that look like schizophrenia. There is a difference between schizoaffective and schizophrenic, which the later tends to have a more constant presentation of symptoms.

5. What are Zyprexa Alternatives? Vitamin C, Niacin, Lithium Orotate, restricting drug use, avoiding stimulants.

6. Can Zyprexa cause tardive dyskinesia? Any antipsychotic can cause tardive dyskinesia or akathisia. Atypicals are less likely than typical antipsychotics. Certain genetic factors like the CYP2D6 or CYP3A4 polymorphisms are suspected.
