SEROPAX 125 (Quetiapine (12.5mg))

Seropax 12.5 Tablet is prescribed for the management of schizophrenia, a mental health condition characterized by symptoms such as hallucinations and delusions, which can significantly disrupt a person’s cognitive functions and behavior. This medication is also indicated for the treatment of mania and is utilized in managing bipolar disorders. Patients can take Seropax 12.5 with or without food; however, it is recommended to take it consistently at the same time every day to ensure stable medication levels in the bloodstream. Adhere to the dosage and duration as directed by your healthcare professional. If a dose is missed, it should be taken as soon as it is remembered, unless it is almost time for the next dose. Abrupt discontinuation of this medication without consulting a healthcare provider may lead to a worsening of symptoms, so any changes in medication should be discussed with your doctor. In case of serious adverse reactions like neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS), which may present with fever, rigidity, altered mental status, or seizures, the medication should be stopped immediately. Some potential side effects include reduced hemoglobin levels, elevated triglycerides, decreased cholesterol levels, headaches, symptoms related to movement disorders, dry mouth, and signs of withdrawal. It’s important to note that Seropax may lead to an initial decrease in blood pressure upon standing; therefore, patients are advised to rise slowly from sitting or lying positions. Dizziness and drowsiness may also occur, impacting the ability to operate vehicles or perform tasks requiring concentration until individual responses to the medication are known. Weight gain may be a concern, but adopting a balanced diet and exercise routine can help mitigate this effect. Users should be vigilant as this medication could elevate the risk of diabetes, making regular glucose monitoring advisable. Report any significant mood changes, depressive symptoms, or thoughts of self-harm to a healthcare provider.
