The Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) decided that Zyprexa’ s benefits are greater than its risks, in adults, for the treatment of schizophrenia, including the maintenance of clinical improvement during continuation therapy in patients who have shown an initial treatment response, the treatment of moderate to severe manic episode, the prevention of recurrence in patients with bipolar disorder, and for the injection, the rapid control of agitation or disturbed behaviour in patients with schizophrenia or a manic episode, when oral therapy is not appropriate.
