FAQ
Which quetiapine strengths and pack sizes can I order?
You can order generic quetiapine tablets in 25mg, 50mg, 100mg, 200mg and 300mg strengths. 25mg comes in packs of 30 to 360, while 50mg and 100mg go to 180, 200mg to 120 and 300mg to 90. Larger packs cost less per tablet.
How is quetiapine delivered to Hong Kong?
Generic quetiapine can be sent by tracked courier in 5 to 9 business days with online tracking, or by standard airmail in 14 to 21 business days, untracked. Payment is by Visa, Mastercard or American Express on a secure, encrypted page, or by Bitcoin or Ethereum. Card details never reach the shop's servers.
What are the other names for quetiapine?
Brand names for quetiapine include Seroquel, Quel, Atrolak and Biquelle. Quetiapine tablets are a pure generic quetiapine product and are not any of those brands. Here, quetiapine can also be bought online as generic Seroquel.
How long does quetiapine take to work?
Drowsiness and a calmer feeling often arrive within the first few days, while the effect on delusions, mood swings or depression builds over several weeks. Doses are raised step by step during the first week, so a slow start does not mean the medicine is failing.
Can I drink alcohol with quetiapine?
Expect more sedation than usual, since alcohol and quetiapine both slow you down. Unsteadiness is common, and standing up quickly can bring on a light-headed spell because both lower blood pressure. Early on, while the dose is still being raised, a drink hits harder.
Is quetiapine the same as Seroquel?
Seroquel is the brand name for quetiapine, so the active ingredient is identical and both come as 25mg to 300mg tablets. What differs is the name on the pack.
Why do quetiapine packs start at 25mg?
The smallest tablets let treatment begin gently and the dose climb in steps rather than all at once. Some conditions are managed on 25mg alone, while schizophrenia and bipolar treatment often moves on to 100mg, 200mg or 300mg tablets as things settle.
What should I do if I miss a quetiapine dose?
Take it as soon as you remember, as long as the next dose is still a fair way off. If it is almost due, take only that one and never two together. Because quetiapine is usually taken one to three times daily, a missed tablet is easy to fold back into the routine.
About Quetiapine
What quetiapine tablets are used for
Quetiapine is an atypical antipsychotic. It acts on dopamine and serotonin, two of the chemical messengers the brain uses to pass signals between nerve cells, and that eases symptoms such as delusions, muddled thinking and mood swings. It treats schizophrenia (an illness that changes how someone thinks, feels and behaves), bipolar disorder (which brings episodes of depression and mania) and major depressive disorder. Tablets come in 25mg, 50mg, 100mg, 200mg and 300mg strengths, so a dose can be built up in small steps: treatment starts low and climbs over the first week or two, with the tablets swallowed with water one to three times a day.
What side effects to expect
Sleepiness is the one most people notice, especially in the first days, and it usually eases. Dry mouth, a bigger appetite, weight gain and a light-headed feeling when you stand up quickly are also common. Less often there is inner restlessness or slowed, stiff movement. A rare reaction called neuroleptic malignant syndrome — fever, rigid muscles, sweating, confusion and a racing heartbeat — needs urgent treatment. Uncontrolled movements of the face, tongue or lips can develop after months of treatment, and blood sugar and cholesterol can creep up over time.
Quetiapine holds symptoms in check without curing the condition, which is why people stay on it through good spells. Coming off it abruptly can bring nausea, vomiting and sleepless nights, so the dose is lowered gradually.
Alcohol and other medicines
Alcohol, sleeping tablets, benzodiazepines and strong painkillers all deepen the drowsiness quetiapine causes. Cimetidine, a heartburn medicine, slows the body's clearance of quetiapine, while carbamazepine, phenytoin and St John's wort speed it up and can weaken its effect.
Quetiapine or Seroquel?
The two hold the same active ingredient across the same tablet strengths, 25mg to 300mg. The brand name is what differs. Seroquel is the branded version, and the quetiapine ingredient page runs through every strength and pack size on sale.
