What is Quetiapine Fumarate?

Quetiapine Fumarate is a generic prescription antipsychotic drug that is primarily used to reduce the symptoms of schizophrenia, such as hallucinations (false perceptions), delusions (false beliefs), disorganized thoughts, and disorganized speech. Quetiapine Fumarate is also commonly prescribed to patients with bipolar (manic-depressive) disorder to manage mania, which is an overexcited state characterized by heightened activity, delusions, euphoria, and risky behaviors.

In both conditions, signals in the brain are overexcited and disorganized. The theory is that the brain is overproducing a chemical, dopamine, in one part of the brain, causing the brain to be overactive and disorganized. At the same time, many of the negative symptoms of schizophrenia, such as lack of emotion, lack of interest in the world, lack of pleasure, apathy, and lack of motivation, are caused by an imbalance in another chemical in the brain, serotonin.

Quetiapine Fumarate works by rebalancing these two chemicals, dopamine, and serotonin, in the brain. Both are important chemicals that help transmit most nerve signals in the brain. Rebalancing dopamine slows down overexcited and disorganized activity in the brain. Thoughts, perceptions, and movement become more organized. Rebalancing serotonin helps to reduce the negative symptoms of schizophrenia and improve the patient's experience of the world.

Quetiapine Fumarate comes in both immediate-release and extended-release forms.
