Varfarin kullanan hastada olanzapin tedavisinin INR üzerine etkisi

Abstract

Olanzapin psikotik belirtilerin tedavisinde kullanılan, psikotik bozuklukların ve duygudurum bozukluklarının tedavisinde başarılı, etki gücü yüksek (potent) bir ikinci kuşak antipsikotiktir. Derin ven trombozu bir venöz tromboemboli kliniği olup, antipsikotik tedavi alan hastalarda tromboz riskinin arttığı bilinmektedir. Olanzapin tedavisinin venöztromboz üzerine olan etkileri raporlanmış olmasına rağmen, literatürde olanzapin tedavisinin “international normalized ratio” (INR) üzerine etkileri hakkında bir çalışma bulunmamaktadır. Bu olgu bildiriminde derin ven trombozu aile öyküsü olup, olanzapin tedavisi altında derin ven trombozu atağı geçiren ve antikoagülan tedavisi alan şizofreni tanılı bir hastada olanzapinin INR üzerine etkilerinin ele alınması amaçlanmıştır.
