Hi,

The side effects described by you may be due to Zyprexa. Benztropine is being given simultaneously to completely cope with these unwanted effects or minimizing these to possible level. Generally, these side effects are transient and go by themselves with time, as the body is adjusted to the given drug. However, if the symptoms persist or these are severe, then your son is advised to see his doctor to adjust his dosage or change the drug being given to your son.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Satnarain Bansal, General & Family Physician
