Important information about Zyprexa

Zyprexa is not for use in psychotic conditions related to dementia. Zyprexa may cause heart failure, sudden death, or pneumonia in older adults with dementia-related conditions.
Zyprexa may impair your thinking or reactions. Avoid getting up too fast from a sitting or lying position, or you may feel dizzy. Get up slowly and steady yourself to prevent a fall.

Zyprexa can cause high blood sugar(hyperglycemia). If you are diabetic, check your blood sugar levels on a regular basis while you are taking Zyprexa.
