> e I quit smoking? I read in the prescribing info that zyprexa clearance is 40%(if I remember correctly) higher in smokers. Does that mean that when you smoke you get more of the zyprexa or the other way around?
"Olanzapine clearance is about 40% higher in smokers than in nonsmokers, although dosage modifications are not routinely recommended."
Basically it means Zyprexa does not work as well if you smoke, but the effect is minimal.
