About Qutan 100mg Tablet
Qutan 100mgTablet 10’s belongs to a group of medications called ‘antipsychotics’. It is used in the treatment of bipolar depression, mania and schizophrenia.

Qutan 100 Tablet 10’s also has effects on other neurotransmitters in the brain such as serotonin and its beneficial effects may be related to this as well. Altogether Qutan 100 Tablet 10’s rebalances dopamine and serotonin to improve thinking, mood and behaviour.
