Mechanism of Action

Quetiapine Fumarate works through:

• Dopamine D2 receptor antagonism – reduces psychotic symptoms such as hallucinations and delusions.
• Serotonin 5-HT2A receptor antagonism – improves mood, reduces negative symptoms, and supports emotional stability.
• Modulates additional neurotransmitters, providing broad-spectrum control of psychiatric symptoms with lower risk of movement-related side effects.

The extended-release formulation maintains consistent drug levels, minimizing peaks and troughs associated with conventional dosing.
