Dangerous Medicines: Seroquel®

In 1997, AstraZeneca released the drug named Seroquel® to control the symptoms of schizophrenia and manic episodes associated with bipolar disorder. Although approved specifically for these limited purposes, some physicians have prescribed Seroquel® for "off-label" uses including dementia, sleep disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, obsessive compulsive behavior and other anxiety disorders.  Evidence linked use of Seroquel to serious side effects including diabetes and its related health complications:  Hyperglycemia, ketoacidosis, coma and death.  Although Seroquel® remains on the market today, suits have been filed on behalf of all patients harmed by  the drug.    If you or someone you know has taken Seroquel and are experiencing any of the above side effects, contact the Law Offices of Stuart A. Kritzer, P.C. for more information.  We’re here to help.
