AstraZeneca's Seroquel XR, an antipsychotic medication, has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of schizophrenia.
The drug's patent in Canada was invalid, and its price will increase after its first patent expiration this month.
The company said it will start a "reissue patent on Seroquel XR," which will be filed by a company in Canada.
"This patent will be the first patent on Seroquel XR, which is an antipsychotic drug," said AstraZeneca. "We will continue to manufacture and supply the drug, and we will continue to manufacture and supply Seroquel XR and other similar medicines to our Canadian customers."
The company said the price of Seroquel XR will be around $10-20 per pill. It plans to continue to manufacture the drug as it prepares for a generic version.
Seroquel XR is approved for schizophrenia treatment, but it has been associated with side effects such as weight gain and metabolic disorders.
It's been linked to the risk of death from cardiovascular events including heart attack, stroke, and death in some patients.
The company said Seroquel XR was associated with increased rates of serious skin reactions such as Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis, and toxic epidermal necrolysis-like reactions in both adults and children. It was also associated with the risk of severe drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms, including rash, pruritus, and urticaria.
The company said the side effects are serious and may include:
The company noted that Seroquel XR is not approved for the treatment of bipolar disorder.
"This is not a drug for the treatment of schizophrenia or other psychiatric disorders," said company president and chief executive officer, Dr. Adriane G. D. Wolfe. "We've seen many cases of Seroquel XR that have occurred in the past. We've reviewed every medication that we have taken to treat schizophrenia. And, as we work to develop more effective medications for this complex condition, we want to make sure that we continue to deliver the best possible treatment."
The company said the patent on Seroquel XR will expire in the next few months, but it expects to file a generic version by the end of 2025.
AstraZeneca said Seroquel XR is approved for the treatment of schizophrenia but will need to demonstrate that it is not associated with serious adverse events.Seroquel XR has been linked to the risk of fatal skin reactions and liver toxicity in patients with multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis spinal cord injuries, Parkinson's disease, stroke and other spinal cord diseases.
Patients with multiple sclerosis who take Seroquel XR will need to undergo at least six weeks of treatment with at least 50 mg of the drug.
The company said that the drug will be available in three forms: tablet, capsule and oral suspension.
The company is seeking to market its drug in the form of a generic, which means it will be priced at $4 per pill.

Quetiapine is a prescription medication that is taken in the form of a tablet. The medication can have side effects, including nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. These side effects usually go away when the medication is stopped. However, you may have a slightly different side effect if you stop taking quetiapine too soon.
In addition to its effects on serotonin, quetiapine also has other effects that could make it a good option for treating other conditions or conditions. These include:
It’s important to remember that this medication should only be used as prescribed and under the guidance of a healthcare provider. If you decide to stop taking quetiapine too soon, the medication could become a source of serious health complications. It’s best to do this on a regular basis to avoid the risk of side effects.
Quetiapine is a prescription medication used to treat (an underactive or underactive), which is an abnormal production of serotonin in the brain. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter, and it has a role in regulating mood and other functions.
It’s important to know that quetiapine belongs to a class of drugs called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that helps regulate mood and feelings.
SSRIs work by reducing the levels of serotonin and other chemicals in the brain. These chemicals are responsible for changing how certain cells work. By taking this medication, quetiapine can help restore the balance of serotonin in the brain.
Quetiapine is taken orally. It’s important to note that not all people can take this medication. In some cases, people may be prescribed a different medication, which could increase the side effects or make it harder to get treatment.
It’s also important to note that quetiapine can also interact with other medications, which may affect how the medication is metabolized and administered. This could make it harder for people to get the medication.
It’s worth noting that quetiapine is usually prescribed for a short period of time and may not cause any serious side effects. However, always follow your doctor’s instructions when taking quetiapine.
Quetiapine and quet-t-i-mine (Seroquel) are two different medications that work in different ways to treat. Quetiapine treats depression, whereas Seroquel treats bipolar disorder.

I have been prescribed Seroquel 5mg and it has really worked. I think that the side effects were pretty minor. If you don't have a long term side effect you have to try to have a long term dose of the drug. I have no problem taking it but if I am on it for 6 months I would consider it a long term dose. I had an allergic reaction to the drug. My doctor recommended it because it is an antipsychotic and is known to be a strong sedative. I have been on it for 7 years now and have taken it as prescribed. I think I would be able to take it when I am able to sleep but if I am having some side effects I would really consider it for a long term dose. The only side effect I have is the weight gain and I would take it when I was feeling tired and the dose is too low. I would be very concerned about this side effect. I don't think anyone should have to take Seroquel 5mg. I think this is not a good use of this drug. I have been taking it for 4 months and have had very few side effects. I am hoping that I will continue taking it and not develop this side effect or if that would be worth the risk to my doctor. I am not taking it as often as I would like. I will have to keep taking it and I will be very concerned if it does cause me any problems with my mental health and the dose is too low. If that is the case then I would stop taking it and try other meds. Thank you for your time.Read MoreRead Less
...23The Seroquel side effects were so minor that I had to stop taking it and was able to sleep through the night. I was very happy with the results. I am happy with the results and hope the side effects are not too serious.
I have been taking this medication for the last 6 months. I was prescribed 1 tablet every other day. I am a very active patient and have not had any negative side effects. I am very happy with the results. I am using it as a long term dose and I think I will be able to sleep through the night. The side effects were minimal and I would be very concerned about them. The only thing I would really concerned about was the weight gain.

Show full versionSeroquel is an atypical antipsychotic medication (which is also known as a type of medicine) and was approved by the FDA in 1997.
It works by helping to restore the balance of certain natural substances in the brain, which can improve symptoms and function. This medication is also used in the treatment of schizophrenia.
Seroquel is often prescribed for people who are diagnosed with bipolar disorder (a mood disorder that causes sudden, unusual episodes of mania or depression) or who are at risk for developing the disorder. It can help to reduce manic or depressive episodes in bipolar disorder by helping to relax the muscles of the nerves in the brain, which can help to decrease the frequency and intensity of mood swings. In contrast, other medications (like Zyprexa®) help to reduce depressive episodes in bipolar disorder but can also help to stabilize mood.
Both Seroquel and Zyprexa® work in different ways to treat different conditions. Seroquel is sometimes called a “first-line medication” because it is more effective than Zyprexa® in certain people with schizophrenia.
Like all medications, Seroquel can cause side effects. However, not everyone will experience these side effects.
