ANTIPSYCHOTICS AND BENZODIAZEPINES - OLANZAPINE

Medical Diagnosis and Drugs, Medications
Excessive sedation may occur if parenteral benzodiazepines are given with intramus- cular olanzapine.
Parenteral benzodiazepines should not be given until at least one hour after intramuscular olanzapine. If a parenteral benzodiazepine has already been given, intramuscular olanzapine should be given with care and the patient should be closely monitored for sedation and cardiorespiratory depression.
