Quetta XR 300 mg 30 tablets

Medication name: Quetta XR 300 mg Tablets contain the active ingredient Quetiapine fumarate, an atypical antipsychotic used for the treatment of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and as an adjunct therapy for major depressive disorder (MDD).

Each pack contains 30 extended-release tablets for oral use.

Use: Quetta XR is prescribed to help manage schizophrenia symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions, and disorganized thinking.

It is also used in bipolar disorder to control manic or depressive episodes and may be added to antidepressant therapy for major depression.

How it works: Quetiapine helps balance dopamine and serotonin levels in the brain, reducing abnormal activity that causes psychotic or mood symptoms.

The extended-release (XR) formulation ensures a steady release of the medication throughout the day for consistent symptom control.

Dosage and administration: The medication is usually taken once daily in the evening, with or without food, as prescribed by the doctor.

The tablet should be swallowed whole with water—do not crush, split, or chew.

Dosage adjustments depend on the patient’s condition and response to therapy.

Side effects: Common side effects include drowsiness, dizziness, dry mouth, constipation, weight gain, increased appetite, and headache.

Some patients may experience low blood pressure when standing or changes in cholesterol or blood sugar levels.

Precautions: Quetta XR is not recommended for dementia-related psychosis in elderly patients.

Use with caution in individuals with heart disease, liver impairment, diabetes, or seizure disorders.

Avoid alcohol and other sedatives, and do not stop taking the medication suddenly without medical advice.

Storage: Store at room temperature (below 25 °C), in a dry place, away from moisture and light, and out of reach of children.
