OLANCARE-5F – 10 TABLETS

OLANCARE-5F combines Fluoxetine, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), and Olanzapine, an atypical antipsychotic. Together, these medications work synergistically to stabilize mood, improve emotional regulation, and reduce depressive symptoms in bipolar disorder. OLANCARE-5F also effectively manages treatment-resistant depression. This combination allows for comprehensive mental health support, making it an essential therapy for those experiencing severe mood disorders.
