Seroquel Review

By Razvan Radu, Senior Writer - Last updated: Feb 25, 2019

Seroquel is labeled as an antipsychotic medication and it claims to work by changing the actions of certain chemicals in the brain. The drug is a registered trademark of the AstraZeneca group of companies. They have been on the market for almost 100 years and have researched and produced medications for heart disease, cancer, mental illness, infections, gastrointestinal disorders and respiratory conditions.

This product is available by prescription only and it is used with the purpose of treating schizophrenia and maniac depression (bipolar disorder) in children and adults. Together with other antidepressant medications, Seroquel is used to treat major depressive disorder in adults.

Seroquel Ingredients

Seroquel includes the following ingredients: Quetiapine fumarate, Magnesium stearate, Dibasic dicalcium phosphate dehydrate, Hypromellose, Lactose monohydrate, Titanium dioxide, red ferric oxide, and yellow ferric oxide.

Product Features

All antipsychotic medications function similarly by regulating dopamine release and by blocking specific receptors in the brain. On the other hand, atypical antipsychotic drugs (like Seroquel) are somewhat different in that they seem to more specifically target the intended receptors in the brain, causing fewer side effects.

Seroquel contains only one active ingredient: Quetiaprine fumarate, which is labeled as an atypical antipsychotic. This ingredient is commonly used due to its properties in treating symptoms of psychosis that may occur to individuals with schizophrenia, during the manic phases of delusional disorder and bipolar disorder.

It is extremely important to note that this drug is associated with side effects like heart failure, very stiff (rigid) muscles, pneumonia, sweating, high fever, fast or uneven heartbeats, tremors, confusion, uncontrolled muscle movements, blurred vision, feeling light-headed, eye pain, excessive hunger, increased thirst and urination, fruity breath odor, weakness, nausea and vomiting.

The product is available for purchase in different strengths: 25mg, 50mg, 100mg, 200mg and 300mg. The drug is also available in packs of 30 or 60 tables. We strongly advise you to do not take this drug without consulting your doctor.

Conclusion

Seroquel is an extremely powerful antipsychotic drug which is available by prescription only. Although the product is FDA approved, it was associated with some severe side effects like heart failure, high fever or pneumonia.

According to the company, multiple studies have been conducted to prove this drug effectiveness in the most severe cases of schizophrenia. Some studies are available on the producer’s website but even so, there is too little information available. We feel like a drug with such strong implications in a patient development should be offered with a stronger background and with a lot more information regarding its effectiveness, ingredients and clinical test results.

We strongly recommend to do not take this drug without consulting your doctor. Also, take Seroquel in the exact dosage prescribed by your doctor.
