Olanzapine thromboembolism

Acute massive pulmonary thromboembolism has been attributed to olanzapine in two patients (60) ... [Pg.339]

Cardiovascular Clozapine, which is close related to olanzapine, has been implicated as an independent susceptibility factor for pulmonary embolism [SEDA-28, 65]. A possible association between olanzapine and pulmonary thromboembolism has also been described [SEDA-32,102]. New cases have been reported [97", 98" ]. [Pg.108]

A review of thromboembolism with antipsychotics found an overall increase in risk [34 ]. The risk, including pulmonary embolism, was greafest with low-potency FGAs (chlorpromazine, thiordazine) and clozapine. Limited data suggested also an increased risk but smaller for olanzapine, risperidone, sertindole and high-potency FGAs (haloperidol). [Pg.61]
