What is Seroquel?
Seroquel containing the active ingredient quetiapine is considered an atypical antipsychotics type of medication. It works by changing the activity of certain natural substances in the brain (neurotransmitters) to restore mental balance. The medication can be used to treat schizophrenia, a mental illness that causes disturbed or unusual thinking, loss of interest in life and strong inappropriate emotions. It can also be used along with other medications to treat episodes of mania and depression in patients diagnosed with bipolar disorder.

How is Seroquel used?
Seroquel is usually taken orally 1 to 3 times per day or as directed by a doctor. The medication can be taken with or without food but should be taken with a glass of water. Contact a doctor for the correct dosage and length of treatment as it will depend on the condition being treated and the patient’s response to the therapy. To reduce the risk of side effects, your health care provider may start you on a low dose and gradually increase the dosage to the optimal dose. The tablets should be swallowed whole and not broken, chewed or crushed prior to consumption as it may cause too much of the drug from being released at once.

Patients using Seroquel may encounter unwanted side effects such as:

  • Drowsiness
  • Upset stomach
  • Dizziness or lightheadedness
  • Increased appetite or excessive weight gain
  • Dry mouth
  • Constipation

Contact a doctor immediately should side effects persist or encounter more severe side effects such as:

  • Fainting
  • Seizures
  • Vision problems
  • Weakness or loss of strength
  • Signs of infection
  • Jaundice
  • Difficulty breathing or swallowing

Warnings
Immediately proceed to your nearest emergency department if you suffer an allergic reaction. Symptoms usually associated with such a reaction include difficulty breathing or swallowing, chest tightness, swelling, skin rashes, and hives.

Seroquel is not always suitable for all patients. Always consult your health care provider prior to using this medication if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, trying to conceive, using any other medication (prescription or non-prescription), using any herbal products or supplements, or if you have any allergies or other health problems.

The correct dosage and prescription commonly depend on the patient and the condition being treated. Do not adjust your dosage without the approval of your health care provider. This product is only for use as prescribed and instructed.
