Product Details

Qusel 100mg Tablets contain Quetiapine Fumarate, a medication primarily used for the treatment of schizophrenia. While the exact mechanism of action is unknown, it is believed that Quetiapine works by blocking dopamine D2 and serotonin 5HT2 receptors in the brain. This helps alleviate symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions, and mood disturbances associated with schizophrenia. Additionally, 100mg may also block histamine H1 receptors, causing drowsiness, and adrenergic a1 receptors, which may lead to low blood pressure.

Purposes

Qusel 100mg Tablets are prescribed to manage schizophrenia, a mental health condition that affects a person’s ability to think clearly, manage emotions, and interact with others. The medication is intended to help reduce symptoms like distorted thinking, mood swings, and agitation. By balancing dopamine and serotonin levels, helps in maintaining mental stability and improving the quality of life for individuals with schizophrenia.

Warnings

2. Tardive Dyskinesia: Long-term use of Quetiapine can lead to tardive dyskinesia, a movement disorder causing involuntary muscle movements. If you experience unusual facial or body movements, contact your doctor.

3. Eye Examinations: It is advised to undergo eye examinations before or shortly after beginning 100mg and then at regular six-month intervals to monitor for any significant changes in vision.
