Abstract: Objective To analyze the adverse drug reactions (ADR) and plasma concentration monitoring of olanzapine so as to provide reference for clinical rational use of drugs. Methods A retrospective analysis of 129 cases of ADR by Shenzhen Kangning Hospital from January 2017 to June 2019 induced by olanzapine was conducted to explore the relationships between the patients' gender, age, dosage, drug combination, plasma concentration and concentration-dosage ratio (C/D) and ADR of olanzapine. Results ADR mainly damaged the neuropsychiatric system, hepatobiliary system and cardiovascular system. The most common clinical manifestations were abnormal liver function, extrapyramidal diseases and akathisia. Most of the patients were aged 19 to 40. ADR reports involved more females than males, but in reports of serious ADR, males outnumbered females(P <0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of serious ADR between combined medication and single medication(P>0.05). 72.87% of the patients had their plasma concentrations monitored during the occurrence of ADR. There was no significant difference in the plasma concentration or C/D value between ADR and serious ADR(P>0.05). Conclusion When olanzapine is used in clinic, clinicians should strengthen the monitoring of ADR and therapeutic drugs, reduce drug combination, and ensure the safety of clinical drug use.
