It is indicated for the treatment of schizophrenia, acute mania and the prevention of relapse in bipolar disorder. We present a case report of a 65- year- old man with bipolar disorder I, who developed black hairy tongue following treatment with olanzapine and completely recovered after withdrawal of treatment.
