INTRODUCTION: Bipolar disorder and treatment-resistant depression (TRD) are common and recurrent conditions associated with significant disability, morbidity and mortality. Despite the clear need for effective treatments, only a few medications have been approved in the US for these indications. The combined formulation of olanzapine-fluoxetine (OFC) has been available for a decade now, thus a review on its safety profile and comparative efficacy is timely and can help clinicians to determine the benefit/risk profile of OFC within the context of other treatment alternatives.
AREAS COVERED: This paper summarizes the rationale and evidence supporting the use of OFC for both bipolar I depressive episodes and TRD with a focus on safety and tolerability. Product labels and the search engine PubMed was used to obtain relevant information on this subject.
EXPERT OPINION: Although further comparative studies are needed, the literature confirms that the OFC is an effective treatment for bipolar I depressive episodes, as well as major depressive episodes that have not responded to several adequate courses of antidepressant therapy. Its use as a first-line treatment for bipolar I depressive episodes and at a higher rung of algorithms for patients with TRD is limited by its propensity to cause weight gain and associated metabolic symptoms.
