چکیده
216 Indian Journal of Psychological Medicine | Volume 39 | Issue 2 | March-April 2017 Our patient had reported asymmetric, tender enlargement of the breasts (gynecomastia was more evident in left side than right). However, there was no sexual dysfunction. The side effect was reported with 10 mg/day olanzapine which improved when the dose of medication was reduced to 5 mg/day. There is evidence of unilateral gynecomastia with antipsychotic risperidone in a case study by Mendhekar and Andrade;[6] however, similar evidence are lacking for olanzapine.
