Worldwide Risperdal got the indication for behaviour disturbance in
Dementia.  Although Zyprexa often works well, they don't have the
indication. At one stage they promoted Zyprexa for Dementia with aggression
etc.  They actually had to withdraw their promotional material on this about
2 years ago.  They don't have the data yet.  Risperdal does./

To my knowledge, Risperidone and Olanzapine cost roughly the same. They also
work roughly the same, and indications are unsurprisingly the same

I missing something here?
