Are Oleanz 15 and Oleanz RT 15 the same medication, and can I use Oleanz RT 15 instead of the Oleanz 15 my doctor prescribed?

Asked by Female, 58 · 2 months ago

Both Oleanz 15 and Oleanz RT 15 contain the same active generic medication, olanzapine, at the same strength. However, they are formulated differently. Oleanz is a standard tablet you swallow, while Oleanz RT is a rapidly dissolving tablet that melts in your mouth. Because their absorption can vary, please do not switch between them without consulting your doctor first. Your doctor can easily confirm if the rapid-dissolving version is right for you.
