Olanzapine/samidorphan, sold under the brand name Lybalvi, is a fixed-dose combination medication for the treatment of schizophrenia and bipolar I disorder.[1] It contains olanzapine, an atypical antipsychotic, and samidorphan, an opioid antagonist.[1][2][3] Samidorphan reduces the weight gain associated with olanzapine while still allowing olanzapine to exert its therapeutic effect.[4][5] The formulation was approved for medical use in the United States in May 2021.[1][6]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
