Probably over 99% of the time (at least around psychiatry) the word Zydis is used the person saying it means the orally disintegrating, quick-acting form of Zyprexa, but technically Zydis means one form of technology that gets a medication to be solid at room temp. but dissolve on the tongue (or otherwise in the mouth). I had previously tried Emsam, wanted to give that active ingredient more of a chance, but I was highly peeved by the physical patches, and asked if I could get it another way, and we tried the Zelapar form of selegiline for a while. The box of Zelapar says "in Zydis form," or something to that effect. I one time mentioned Zydis when I was talking w/ the pdoc about Zelapar, and he said "Zydis is Zyprexa," but then I showed him the box of Zelapar I had with me, and he admitted he had been mistaken.
