Overview Qpen 25mg Tablet

Quetiapine 25mg tablets are indicated for managing schizophrenia (a severe mental illness causing hallucinations, delusions, and impaired thinking/behavior) and manic episodes. They're also prescribed for bipolar disorder. This medication can be taken with or without food, but consistent daily timing is recommended for optimal blood levels. Always follow your doctor's prescribed dosage and duration. If a dose is missed, take it as soon as possible. Do not abruptly stop taking this medicine without consulting your doctor; doing so could exacerbate symptoms. Immediately cease use if you experience Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome (NMS): high fever, muscle stiffness, altered mental state, or seizures. Common side effects include low hemoglobin, elevated triglycerides, reduced cholesterol, headache, extrapyramidal symptoms, dry mouth, and withdrawal effects. Initially, postural hypotension (dizziness upon standing) may occur; rise slowly. Drowsiness and dizziness are also possible; avoid driving or tasks requiring alertness until effects are known. Weight gain is a potential side effect, mitigated by diet and exercise. This medicine may increase diabetes risk; monitor blood glucose levels. Report any unusual mood changes, new or worsening depression, or suicidal thoughts to your physician immediately.
