Seroquel is a type of antipsychotic prescription medicine. The active agent of this drug is called Quetiapine fumarate. It is used to treat different psychotic conditions ranging from Bipolar disorders to Schizophrenia. Seroquel is sometimes called an antimanic agent.

The drug comes in different colors (peach, yellow, or white), and it’s round or oblong. The tablets are usually inscribed with "SEROQUEL" and a number representing each tablet's milligram. Thus we have Seroquel 25, Seroquel 50, Seroquel 100, Seroquel 400, etc.

How to Take Seroquel

The drug should only be taken as directed by a doctor. You will get the quantity that is needed for a specified period of time. Consuming the drug in excess or prolonged use can lead to permanent mobility disorders like tremors or uncontrolled involuntary muscular movements.

Seroquel should be taken via the mouth with copious amounts of water. It can be taken with or without food. But it is usually advised that the extended-release tablets be ingested with at least a small amount of food. Additionally, Seroquel is best taken in the evening. The tablets should not be chewed or broken; they should be consumed whole.

Dosage and Indications

For Schizophrenia:

In children between 13 to 17 years, a 400 to 800 mg dose per day is recommended. It should not exceed 800 mg per day. The patient can be administered a 5-day treatment regimen comprising 50 mg per day on the first day, which can be increased to 400 mg on the 5th day.

In adults (18 years and above), the recommended dose is 300 mg per day for five days. The dose can be adjusted as deemed fit by your doctor. It should, however, not exceed 800mg per day.

Depression with Bipolar Disorder:

In children, if necessary, the dose must be determined by the physician. In adults, a 50 mg dose should be ingested on the first night, which can subsequently be adjusted but should not exceed 300 mg per day.

Manic (Bipolar Disorder):

In children between the ages of 10 - 17, a 50 mg per day starting dose to be consumed in the evening is sufficient. However, the dose can be adjusted. The safety of Seroquel in children below ten years has not been established.

Major Depression Disorder:

50mg per day in the evening, not exceeding a total of 300 mg, is adequate.
