Description
Quetiapine is an atypical antipsychotic drug that blocks the action of dopamine, a chemical messenger in the brain linked to schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. It is primarily used to treat schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, along with episodes of mania or hypomania, by reducing symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions, and confusion, and preventing manic episodes. Quetiapine is thought to affect multiple neurotransmitter systems in the brain, including dopamine and serotonin, though its exact mechanism is not fully understood.
