Quetiapine Prolonged Release 300mg

About Quetiapine Prolonged Release 300mg

QT-PINE SR 300 is a medication formulated to deliver a prolonged release of Quetiapine, an antipsychotic agent used primarily for the treatment of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Each tablet contains 300mg of Quetiapine, designed to provide a consistent therapeutic effect over an extended period, ensuring better management of symptoms and improved patient compliance.

Key Benefits:

• Effective Symptom Control: Provides relief from symptoms of schizophrenia, including hallucinations, delusions, and disorganized thinking.
• Mood Stabilization: Helps manage the manic and depressive episodes associated with bipolar disorder.
• Prolonged Release: Ensures a steady release of medication, reducing the need for multiple daily doses and improving adherence to the treatment regimen.
• Improved Quality of Life: Aids in reducing the severity and frequency of psychiatric symptoms, thereby enhancing the overall quality of life for patients.

How Does It Work?

QT-PINE SR 300 works by influencing the activity of certain neurotransmitters in the brain, particularly serotonin and dopamine. Quetiapine acts as an antagonist at various receptor sites, helping to balance the levels of these neurotransmitters. This action helps to alleviate the symptoms of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, stabilizing mood and reducing psychotic episodes.

Directions for Use:

• Dosage: Follow the prescribed dosage by your healthcare provider. QT-PINE SR 300 is typically taken once daily, preferably in the evening.
• Administration: Swallow the tablet whole with water. Do not crush, chew, or break the tablet as it is designed for prolonged release.
• Consistency: Take the medication at the same time each day to maintain a consistent level of the drug in your system.
• Missed Dose: If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, unless it is close to the time for your next dose. Do not double up on doses.
