Seroquel Patient, Information, Instructions - Quetiapine Fumarate
PATIENT INFORMATION
Physicians are advised to discuss the following issues with patients for whom they prescribe SEROQUEL.
Orthostatic Hypotension: Patients should be advised of the risk of orthostatic hypotension, especially during the 3-5 day period of initial dose titration, and also at times of re-initiating treatment or increases in dose.
Interference with Cognitive and Motor Performance: Since somnolence was a commonly reported adverse event associated with SEROQUEL treatment, patients should be advised of the risk of somnolence, especially during the 3-5 day period of initial dose titration. Patients should be cautioned about performing any activity requiring mental alertness, such as operating a motor vehicle (including automobiles) or operating hazardous machinery, until they are reasonably certain that SEROQUEL therapy does not affect them adversely.
Pregnancy: Patients should be advised to notify their physician if they become pregnant or intend to become pregnant during therapy.
Nursing: Patients should be advised not to breast feed if they are taking SEROQUEL.
Concomitant Medication: As with other medications, patients should be advised to notify their physicians if they are taking, or plan to take, any prescription or over-the-counter drugs.
Alcohol: Patients should be advised to avoid consuming alcoholic beverages while taking SEROQUEL.
Heat Exposure and Dehydration: Patients should be advised regarding appropriate care in avoiding overheating and dehydration.
