Olanzapine Sodium valproate

Lithium, divalproex sodium (valproate), aripiprazole, olanzapine, que-tiapine, risperidone, and ziprasidone are currently approved by the FDA for treatment of acute mania in bipolar disorder. Lithium, olanzapine, and lamotrigine are approved for maintenance treatment of bipolar disorder. Quetiapine is the only antipsychotic that is FDA approved for bipolar depression. [Pg.776]

Although mania has been associated with olanzapine (SEDA-24, 68 SEDA-25, 68 SEDA-26, 62), it has also been used in the treatment of acute mania. In a 12-week, double-blind, double-dummy, randomized trial, 120 patients with bipolar disorder type I hospitalized for an acute manic episode were randomly assigned to either sodium valproate (n = 63) or olanzapine (n = 57) and were followed in hospital for up to 21 days (60). Valproate and olanzapine had similar short-term effects on clinical or health-related quality of life outcomes in bipolar disorder adverse effects that occurred in a higher percentage of olanzapine-treated than valproate-treated patients included somnolence (47% versus 29%), weight gain (25% versus 10%), rhinitis (14% versus 3%), edema (14% versus 0%), and slurred speech (7% versus 0%) no adverse events occurred significantly more often with valproate. [Pg.305]
