QUEL 200MG TABLET belongs to a group of medications called ‘antipsychotics’. It is used in the treatment of bipolar depression, mania and schizophrenia. Bipolar disorder is characterized by manic episodes of excitement or euphoria and depression. Schizophrenia is characterized by symptoms of hallucinations (seeing or hearing things that are not real) and delusions (wrong beliefs).
QUEL 200MG TABLET contains ‘quetiapine’, which is an antipsychotic drug. It acts by blocking dopamine, a hormone in the brain responsible for developing symptoms of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. QUEL 200MG TABLET also affects other neurotransmitters in the brain, such as serotonin, and its beneficial effects may also be related to this. Altogether QUEL 200MG TABLET rebalances dopamine and serotonin to improve thinking, mood and behaviour.
