Seroquel

What is Seroquel?

Seroquel, known generically as quetiapine fumarate, is used to treat symptoms of schizophrenia such as delusions, hallucinations, and thought disorder. Manufactured by AstraZeneca, Seroquel was approved by the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) in 1997.

Possible Side Effects of Taking Seroquel

Seroquel users had an increased rate of diabetes compared to people taking older medications, according to a study on atypical antipsychotic medications published by the Wall Street Journal.

Black Box Warning For Seroquel

The FDA put a “black box” warning, the strongest warning possible for prescription drugs, on Seroquel’s label in April 2005. The warning states that Seroquel has an increased risk of death-related psychosis and behavioral problems in elderly patients with dementia. Although Seroquel is not approved as a treatment for behavioral problems associated with dementia, doctors commonly prescribe drugs for this unapproved or “off label” use.
