Uses of Seroquel
 
Seroquel is also known by the generic name Quetiapine


USES:
This medication is used to treat certain mental/mood conditions (including bipolar disorder, schizophrenia). Quetiapine is known as an anti-psychotic drug (atypical type). It works by helping to restore the balance of certain natural substances (neurotransmitters) in the brain.

This medication can decrease hallucinations and improve your concentration. It helps you to think more clearly and positively about yourself, feel less nervous, and take a more active part in everyday life. Quetiapine can help prevent severe mood swings or decrease how often mood swings occur.


Uses of Zyprexa
 
Zyprexa is also known by the generic name Olanzapine


USES:
This medication is used to treat certain mental/mood conditions (such as schizophrenia, bipolar mania). It may also be used in combination with other medication to treat depression. It works by helping to restore the balance of certain natural chemicals in the brain (neurotransmitters).

Some of the benefits of continued use of this medication include feeling less nervous, better concentration, and reduced episodes of hallucinations.

Talk to the doctor about the risks and benefits of treatment (especially when used in teenagers). See also Precautions section.
