• Major Depressive Disorder: Quetiapine can be used as an adjunct treatment for major depressive disorder when other antidepressants are insufficient.

Side Effects:

• Common Side Effects: These can include drowsiness, dizziness, dry mouth, constipation, weight gain, and increased appetite.
• Serious Side Effects: Rarely, quetiapine can cause metabolic syndrome, tardive dyskinesia (involuntary movements), and an increased risk of diabetes. It may also lead to cardiovascular issues, particularly in elderly patients with dementia-related psychosis.

Precaution:

• Sedation: Quetiapine often causes sedation; patients should avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until they know how it affects them.
• Weight Monitoring: Regular monitoring of weight and metabolic parameters is recommended due to the risk of weight gain and metabolic changes.
• Elderly Patients: Caution is advised when prescribing quetiapine to elderly patients, especially those with dementia, due to increased mortality risk.
• Drug Interactions: Quetiapine can interact with other medications, particularly those that affect the central nervous system (CNS), leading to increased sedation or respiratory depression. Always inform your healthcare provider about all medications being taken.
