Urinary Side Effects of Olanzapine:

1. Mechanism of Urinary Disturbances

• Disruption of autonomic nervous system regulation
• Potential impact on bladder muscle tone and neurological control

2. Types of Urinary Issues

• Nocturnal enuresis (bedwetting)
• Increased urinary frequency
• Urinary incontinence
• Potential urinary retention

3. Contributing Factors

• Dosage-dependent side effects
• Individual metabolic variations
• Concurrent medications
• Pre-existing bladder/neurological conditions

4. Prevalence

• More common in younger patients
• Higher risk in adolescent populations
• Typically mild to moderate in severity

5. Recommended Management

• Consultation with prescribing psychiatrist
• Potential dosage adjustment
• Monitoring fluid intake
• Possible pharmacological interventions
• Rule out alternative causes

Important Clinical Recommendations:

• Document precise urinary symptoms

• Do not discontinue medication without professional guidance
