Seroquel XR (active ingredient: quetiapine fumarate) is a prescription medication indicated for the following:

Schizophrenia: Seroquel XR is used for the treatment of schizophrenia in adults and adolescents aged 13 to 17 years.
Bipolar Disorder: It is indicated for the treatment of acute manic or mixed episodes associated with bipolar I disorder in adults and pediatric patients aged 10 to 17 years, as well as for the maintenance treatment of bipolar disorder.
Major Depressive Disorder: Seroquel XR is also indicated as an adjunct treatment for major depressive disorder in adults.

Seroquel XR belongs to a class of drugs known as atypical antipsychotics, which work by affecting various neurotransmitters in the brain, including serotonin and dopamine, to help stabilize mood and reduce psychotic symptoms.

Seroquel XR (Quetiapine Fumarate SR) is an extended-release tablet that is taken by mouth as directed by your doctor, usually once daily in the evening without food or with a light meal. You should swallow the tablets whole and do not crush or chew the tablets, as doing so can release all the drugs at once, increasing the risk of side effects.

The dosage of Seroquel XR is based on your medical condition, response to treatment, and other medications you may be taking. You should always tell your doctor and pharmacist about all the products you use, including prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and herbal products. To minimize your risk of side effects, your doctor may direct you to start this medication at a low dose and gradually increase your dose.

The recommended dosage of Seroquel XR (Quetiapine Fumarate SR) varies depending on the medical condition being treated. For schizophrenia in adults, the recommended starting dose is 300 mg per day, with dose increases made at intervals as short as one day and in increments of up to 300 mg per day. For depressive episodes due to bipolar disorder, the recommended starting dose is 50 mg on day 1, then 100 mg on day 2, then 200 mg on day 3, and then 300 mg on day 4 and onward. The maintenance dose typically ranges from 400 mg to 800 mg per day for schizophrenia.

Do not increase your dose or use this drug more often or for longer than prescribed. Doing so will not improve your condition any faster, and your risk of side effects will increase. Continue taking this medication even if you feel well. Do not stop taking this medication without consulting your doctor. Some conditions may become worse when the drug is suddenly stopped, and you may experience symptoms such as trouble sleeping, nausea, headache, diarrhea, and irritability.
