Contain the active ingredient : Quetiapine which is an atypical antipsychotic, which is used to treat schizophrenia, bipolar disorder or depression.
Quetiapine works in the brain, where it affects various neurotransmitters, in particular serotonin (5HT) and dopamine.
Neurotransmitters
are chemicals that are stored in nerve cells and are involved in
transmitting messages between the nerve cells. Dopamine and serotonin
are neurotransmitters known to be involved in regulating mood,
behaviour, thinking and perception, among other things.
Psychotic
illness appears to be caused by disturbances in the activity of
neurotransmitters (mainly dopamine) in the brain. Schizophrenia is known
to be associated with an overactivity of dopamine in the brain, and
this may be responsible for the delusions and hallucinations that are a
feature of this disease.
Quetiapine works by blocking the
receptors in the brain that dopamine acts on. This prevents the
excessive activity of dopamine and helps to control symptoms of
schizophrenia and manic depression.
Quetiapine improves symptoms
such as hallucinations (hearing, seeing, or sensing things that are not
really there), disturbed thoughts (such as having mistaken beliefs or
feeling unusually suspicious or paranoid), feeling depressed, anxious,
agitated, hostile or unusually excited, having a lack of emotion or
becoming withdrawn.
What is it used for?
Treating schizophrenia.
Controlling episodes of mania and depression in people with manic depression (bipolar affective disorder). If your manic or depressive episode gets better with quetiapine your doctor may also suggest you keep taking it as a mood stabiliser. This can help prevent future episodes of mania or depression.
