Description

Quetiapine, marketed under the brand name Seroquel, is an antipsychotic medication primarily prescribed for the treatment of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and major depressive disorder (as an adjunct to antidepressants). It belongs to a class of drugs known as atypical antipsychotics and works by modulating the activity of certain neurotransmitters in the brain, including dopamine and serotonin, to alleviate symptoms of psychosis, mania, and depression.

Key Features:

• Effective in managing symptoms of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and major depressive disorder.
• Available in tablet form for convenient oral administration.
• Exhibits a broad spectrum of activity, addressing both positive and negative symptoms of psychosis.
• Extended-release formulations provide once-daily dosing for improved patient compliance.
• May be used off-label for other conditions such as anxiety disorders, insomnia, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Usage Instructions:

• Take quetiapine tablets orally as directed by your healthcare provider.
• The dosage and duration of treatment may vary depending on the condition being treated and individual response to the medication.
• Swallow the tablets whole with water, with or without food.
• Follow the prescribed dosing schedule carefully to achieve optimal therapeutic effects.
• Do not abruptly stop taking quetiapine without consulting your doctor, as this may lead to withdrawal symptoms or recurrence of symptoms.
• It may take several weeks for the full therapeutic effects of quetiapine to be realized. Continue taking the medication even if you feel well, unless instructed otherwise by your doctor.

Precautions:

• Inform your doctor about any existing medical conditions, especially if you have a history of heart disease, diabetes, seizures, or liver or kidney problems.
• Quetiapine may interact with other medications, including antidepressants, anticonvulsants, and antihypertensive drugs. Inform your doctor about all medications you are currently taking.
• Use caution when driving or operating machinery, as quetiapine may cause drowsiness or impair your ability to concentrate.
• Monitor for signs of metabolic changes, including weight gain, elevated blood sugar levels, and lipid abnormalities, especially in individuals with preexisting metabolic conditions.
• Elderly patients with dementia-related psychosis treated with antipsychotic medications are at an increased risk of death. Quetiapine is not approved for the treatment of dementia-related psychosis.

Side Effects: Common side effects of quetiapine may include:

• Drowsiness
• Dizziness
• Dry mouth
• Constipation
• Weight gain
• Increased appetite
• Fatigue
• Blurred vision

Less common but more serious side effects may include:

• Extrapyramidal symptoms (such as tremors, rigidity, and involuntary movements)
• Orthostatic hypotension (a sudden drop in blood pressure upon standing)
• Tardive dyskinesia (involuntary movements of the face and body)
• Hyperglycemia (high blood sugar levels)
• Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (a potentially life-threatening reaction characterized by fever, muscle rigidity, and altered mental status)

Contact your healthcare provider promptly if you experience any severe or persistent side effects while taking quetiapine.
