“…Eight days after hospitalization, she had developed bilateral lower extremity and facial edema, and 1 week after reducing the dose of QTP from 600 to 300 mg daily, the edema had been resolved. 10 Similarly, a case report (2016) was published about lip swelling in a 65‐year‐old Italian woman with the diagnosis of refractory major depressive episode following the second administration of sustained‐release QTP at a dose of 50 mg. 23 As well, Gopalakrishnan et al 24 had reported a case of bilateral pitting pedal and facial edema in a woman with no medical comorbidities after starting olanzapine treatment. The median time to onset of antipsychotic‐induced edema can therefore range from 1 day to several months after initiation of treatment.…”

is known as an atypical antipsychotic agent with a high affinity for 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) and D2 dopamine receptors. 1 One of the therapeutic applications of QTP is the treatment of delirium, as a neuropsychiatric syndrome with fluctuations in the course of the disease, disturbances of consciousness, disorientation, reduced awareness of surroundings and attention deficit. 2 This condition also known as the most common diagnosis of the central nervous system (CNS) involvement and is common in hospitalized patients, particularly those admitted in the intensive care units (ICUs). 3 In this sense, edema is a symptom of tissue swellings caused by an increase in the volume of interstitial fluid. Local edema in the hands, wrists, feets and knees is called peripheral edema, which usually occurs either as a result of a systemic disease (e.g. liver cirrhosis, kidney disease, congestive heart failure,

Olanzapine can have a better impact on negative symptoms of schizophrenia with reduced motor side effects compared to other atypical antipsychotics, according to some literature. Here, the authors describe a case of a woman with a diagnosis of schizophrenia who developed the rare side effect of bilateral pedal oedema while on oral olanzapine. The possible mechanism behind the condition and the clinical management measures taken to resolve the oedema is discussed.
