My family member just started on olanzapine a week ago. It's a teenager and last night he fell asleep before he had to take his dose of olanzapine. He woke up at 3am so I gave it to him then. How do I get back on schedule with the 8pm dose?
What to do about late dose of olanzapine?

Hi there, Hello!
As long as there has been at least 8 hours between doses you can go ahead with his regular schedule. Give the 8pm dose tonight.
