    Olanzapine is an antipsychotic medication, which is approved for treatment of psychiatric illnesses among various age groups of psychiatric patients. Accidental consumption of olanzapine is uncommon among the paediatric age group. We report a case of accidental consumption of 15 tablets of olanzapine (5 mg each) in a two-year-old boy. It is important that clinicians are made aware of these reports of an overdose of olanzapine.
