What is Quetiapine Fumarate

Quetiapine Fumarate is a dibenzothiazepine. It’s a crystalline powder that’s white to off-white in colour and mildly soluble in water. It is a general prescription drug that shows antipsychotic activity and helps regulate mania (overexcitement) in bipolar patients and lowers schizophrenia symptoms including hallucinations and delusions.

Quetiapine was first discovered in 1985 and received US-FDA approval for medical usage in 1997. It is believed to work by blocking a number of receptors including serotonin and dopamine. It is sold under the brand name Seroquel. It is available as immediate-release and extended-release tablets.
