Rapid initiation of quetiapine well tolerated as compared with the conventional initiation regimen in patients with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorders

Abstract: A 2-week, randomized, parallel-group open trial was designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of a rapid initiation regimen with a higher dose of quetiapine (up to 800 mg/d by Day 4) than that used in the conventional initiation regimen of quetiapine (up to 400mg/d by Day 5) in patients with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorders. Forty patients were recruited and randomly (3:1) assigned to either the group with rapid initiation of quetiapine or the group with conventional initiation. At the end of … Show more

“…QTF has antidepressant properties, which are likely to be mediated in part by its metabolite N-des alkyl quetiapine fumarate, which inhibits selective norepinephrine reuptake and activates the 5-HT1A and 5-HT7 receptors [3]. QTF also has a favorable safety record, as evidenced by numerous past clinical trials [4]. Many people with schizophrenia have stated that QTF enhances their cognitive abilities, and it is particularly well-tolerated in the elderly [5].…”
