Zyprexa Relprevv, an extended-release injectable suspension of olanzapine, received FDA approval in December 2009 for the treatment of schizophrenia in adults. Due to the risk of post-injection delirium/sedation syndrome (PDSS) associated with Zyprexa Relprevv usage, the injection is only available through a restricted distribution program. This article reviews the impact of PDSS on the use of Zyprexa Relprevv.
