I have been taking Fostera-5 Tablet for the last 20 years. Now I have low iron levels, decreased blood counts, diabetes, and itching. I have consulted a haematologist and taken iron supplements, but I am still having these problems. What should I do?

Have a query?

Fostera-5 (Olanzapine 5mg + Fluoxetine 20mg) is primarily used to treat schizophrenia, psychosis, and bipolar disorder by helping balance brain chemicals to reduce symptoms like hallucinations and mood swings.
Since you have been on Fostera-5 for many years and now face low iron, decreased blood counts, and diabetes, it is important to have a thorough medical evaluation. Your doctor may need to review your medications and investigate other causes for these issues, as Olanzapine can affect blood sugar and weight. Coordination between your psychiatrist, hematologist, and endocrinologist is advisable to optimize your treatment and manage these conditions safely.
Itching could be a side effect or a sign of an allergic reaction or other underlying issue. You should promptly inform your prescribing psychiatrist or a dermatologist to identify the cause and adjust your treatment if needed. Do not stop the medication without medical advice.
Please consult your psychiatrist and relevant specialists for personalized care and monitoring. If you experience severe symptoms like difficulty breathing, swelling, or rash, seek emergency care immediately.
