General Advice

* Safety of dosages higher than 800 mg/day has not been evaluated.
* Take without regard to meals. Take with food if stomach upset occurs.
* Long-term use (more than 6 wk) not evaluated. Periodically reevaluate usefulness.
* When restarting patients who have had an interval of less than 1 wk off quetiapine, resume maintenance dose. If the interval is more than 1 wk, follow initial titration period.
*  tablets should be swallowed whole and not split, chewed, or crushed.
*  should be taken without food or with a light meal (about 300 calories).
* Use immediate-release tablet for schizophrenic patients requiring less than 200 mg per dose of  during the initial titration.
* Start schizophrenic elderly patients and/or patients with hepatic function impairment on the immediate-release formulation. Dose can be incrementally increased daily. When an effective dose has been reached, the patient may switch to an equivalent total daily dose of the ER formulation.
* Schizophrenic patients currently treated with divided doses of the immediate-release formulation may be switched to equivalent total daily doses of the ER formulation taken once daily.
* Consideration should be given to a slower rate of dose titration and a lower target dose in elderly patients and in patients who are debilitated or who are predisposed to hypotension.
