Qut 100 Tabs ( White) (20X10) Qutiapine Fumirate 100 Mg by Elder

What is it used for?
Quetiapine is an antipsychotic medicine used to treat schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. It may also be prescribed with other medicines for certain depressive conditions, depending on the doctor's advice.

How does it work?
It helps balance the effects of certain chemical messengers in the brain, mainly dopamine and serotonin. This can help reduce disturbances in thinking, mood and behaviour.

How to take/use it
Take it exactly as prescribed and swallow the tablet with water. Do not change the dose or stop treatment suddenly without medical advice. Avoid driving or operating machinery until its effect on alertness is known.

Common side effects
Sleepiness, dizziness, dry mouth, constipation, increased appetite and weight gain may occur. Blurred vision or a drop in blood pressure on standing can also occur.

Precautions
Avoid alcohol because it can increase sleepiness and dizziness. Tell the doctor about diabetes, heart problems, liver disease, seizures, or a history of low blood pressure. Blood sugar, cholesterol and weight may need monitoring. Older adults with dementia-related psychosis may have an increased risk of serious effects. Seek urgent medical help for severe muscle stiffness, high fever, confusion, uncontrolled movements or fainting.
