Quetiapine (Seroquel). Another atypical antipsychotic, quetiapine has also been approved by the FDA for the treatment of acute mania. It is usually administered twice daily at doses of 150-750mg/day. Like its counterparts, quetiapine is a well-tolerated medication. Its common side effects are drowsiness, dizziness, and headache. It causes less weight gain than olanzapine or clozapine but more than ziprasidone or aripiprazole. Quetiapine also does not cause agranulocytosis nor does it increase the risk of seizures. It can occasionally cause mild changes in liver function tests, but these usually return to normal even if the patient continues taking quetiapine. [Pg.86]

Quetiapine (Seroquel). Quetiapine is the fourth of the atypical antipsychotics introduced in the United States. It is effective in both positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia within a dose range of 150 to 750mg/day in two divided... [Pg.119]

Atypical antipsychotics may be helpful in managing the delusions and agitated behavior that can accompany dementia. These medications, include risperidone (Risperdal), quetiapine (Seroquel), ziprasidone (Geodon), aripiprazole (Abilify), and olanzapine (Zyprexa). All antipsychotics, typical and atypical, appear to increase the risk of death in patients with dementia and psychosis. This appears as a warning in the package inserts of the newer drugs. A prudent approach is to discuss this risk with the caregiver, use the lowest effective dose, and monitor for effectiveness. [Pg.301]

Other medications that can be considered are zolpidem (Ambien), the benzodiazepine temazepam (Restoril), quetiapine (Seroquel), and chloral hydrate. [Pg.309]

Receptor-Binding Studies. Quetiapine (Seroquel) is also a dibenzothiazepine derivative produced by altering the structure of clozapine. This agent has an affinity for multiple brain receptors, a low propensity to evoke EPS in preclinical tests considered predictive of antipsychotic activity, and does not produce sustained plasma prolactin levels. [Pg.61]

Clozaril (Clozapine), for example, can cause agranulocytosis (a potentially lethal suppression of white blood cells by the bone marrow). Parkinsonian symptoms and weight gain occur with risperidone (Risperdal) and olanzapine (Zyprexa). In addition, quetiapine (Seroquel) has been associated with an increased incidence of cataracts. [Pg.464]

In 2005, an NIMH multisite study called CATIE compared the older neuroleptic perphenazine (Trilafon) and atypical neuroleptics olanzapine (Zyprexa), quetiapine (Seroquel), risperidone (Risperdal), and zipra-sidone (Geodon Lieberman et al., 2005a see also Nasrallah, 2007 Rosenheck et al., 2006 Weiden, 2007a). Phase I involved 1,460 patients diagnosed with schizophrenia initially randomly assigned in a doubleblind study to one of the five neuroleptics. The study lasted 18 months, with safety and tolerability outcomes evaluated at 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, and 18 months. [Pg.29]

The most poorly tolerated drug, quetiapine (Seroquel), is the most commonly used in the United States and brings in the greatest revenues. Its success is a marketing triumph, not a clinical one. [Pg.30]
