Most, but not all, forms of Zyprexa (olanzapine) are available as generic drugs. At this time, you can buy generic versions of Zyprexa tablets, Zyprexa Zydis orally disintegrating tablets, and the short-acting Zyprexa injection. These drugs have been given an "AB" rating by the FDA, which means they are considered equivalent to brand-name Zyprexa.
