How it works

This product’s leaflet is published as a scanned document. This section quotes the US prescribing label for the same active substance (quetiapine fumarate). It describes the substance, not this Bulgarian product — its uses and doses can differ.

The mechanism of action of quetiapine in the listed indications is unclear.

However, the efficacy of quetiapine in these indications could be mediated through a combination of dopamine type 2 (D 2 ) and serotonin type 2 (5HT 2 ) antagonism.
