Mechanism of Action

Quetiapine Fumarate works by:

• Antagonizing dopamine D2 receptors, which helps reduce psychotic symptoms such as hallucinations and delusions.
• Blocking serotonin 5-HT2A receptors, improving mood and reducing negative symptoms of psychosis.
• Modulating other neurotransmitter systems, providing stabilization of mood and behavior.

This dual mechanism ensures effective symptom control with a lower risk of movement-related side effects compared to traditional antipsychotics.
