About
QUTELAS 100 TAB contains Quetiapine, an atypical antipsychotic medication that is widely used to treat complex psychiatric conditions such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder (including manic, depressive, and mixed episodes), and as an adjunct to antidepressants for major depressive disorder. It exerts its therapeutic effects by modulating the activity of several neurotransmitters in the brain, particularly dopamine and serotonin, helping to restore their balance. This rebalancing leads to a reduction in psychotic symptoms like hallucinations and delusions, stabilization of mood swings, and an improvement in overall thought processes and behavior. Consistent adherence to the prescribed dosage and regular medical follow-up are essential for achieving and maintaining optimal mental health outcomes.
