Product description

Quetiapine is an atypical antipsychotic that acts on serotonin and dopamine receptors. The prolonged-release (LP) form releases the substance gradually, allowing once-daily dosing and smoother plasma levels with fewer peaks — this improves tolerability, especially at the start of therapy.

Quetiapine is one of the most prescribed antipsychotics worldwide, used across psychiatric practice far beyond schizophrenia, including bipolar disorder and augmentation in depression. The product is manufactured in France by Mylan Pharma and is a prescription-only medicine.

Indications

• schizophrenia
• bipolar disorder — manic and depressive episodes
• major depressive disorder as augmentation therapy, as prescribed by a physician

Dosage and administration

The prolonged-release tablet is taken once daily, in the evening, without crushing or chewing. Initial dose and titration are determined by the physician; the tablet may be taken with or without food, but consistent intake is recommended.

Dose changes and discontinuation are managed only by the treating physician.

Contraindications

• hypersensitivity to quetiapine or any excipient
• concurrent use with MAO inhibitors
• elderly patients with dementia-related psychosis (increased risk, as warned by the physician)
• uncontrolled diabetes, as assessed by the physician
