ABOUT SEROQUEL

Seroquel is Zeneca's brand of the anti-psychotic drug quetiapine fumarate. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved Seroquel to treat symptoms of schizophrenia that may include hearing voices, seeing things, or sensing things that are not there, mistaken beliefs or unusual suspiciousness.

Seroquel may be used alone or with lithium or divalproex to treat acute manic episodes in adults who have a condition called Bipolar I disorder. Bipolar disorder is a mental illness that causes extreme mood swings.

Schizophrenia, a disorder of the brain, affects about 1 out of 100 persons - with onset usually in young adults. About 20 to 40 percent of patients with schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder attempt suicide. Suicidal behavior refers to actions by a patient that put the patient at risk for death.

In April 2005 the FDA issued an alert noting that older patients treated for dementia with Seroquel or other atypical antipsychotics had a higher chance for death than patients who did not take the medicine.
