Default Interaction:olanzapine and lorazepam

Hi!I´m taking zyprexa and my doc prescribed me lorazepam...the problem is that in the interaction checker it says that when used in intra-muscular form is a major-drug interaction, but it doesn´t talk about pill form.Can someone clarify me on this subject?

There is definitely a potential for interaction between the two medications. You should discuss this with the dr. If you read the interaction checker closely you saw that the most serious potential for adverse interactions result in some specific circumstances. I would discuss this with your dr as we can't tell you here to take or stop something your dr told you to take. There could be extenuating circumstances we are not aware of. I would contact your dr. God bless.
