Frequently asked questions about Quetiapine Sustained Release

What is quetiapine sustained release used for?

Quetiapine sustained release is being developed as monotherapy for the maintenance treatment of major depressive disorder in adults. It is an extended-release formulation studied in a Phase 3 trial that enrolled 3,000 patients aged 18 and older across the United States, Canada, Europe, and Puerto Rico.

What does quetiapine sustained release target?

Quetiapine sustained release targets the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor (HTR2A), the dopamine D2 receptor (DRD2), and the serotonin 5-HT2C receptor (HTR2C). It acts as an antagonist at these receptors, a mechanism consistent with its development for major depressive disorder.
