About QPIN SR 100MG TABLET
Q-Pin SR 100 TABLET belongs to a group of medications called ‘antipsychotics’. It is used in the treatment of bipolar depression, mania and schizophrenia. Bipolar disorder is characterized by manic episodes of excitement or euphoria and depression. Schizophrenia is characterized by symptoms of hallucinations (seeing or hearing things that are not real) and delusions (wrong beliefs).
Q-Pin SR 100 TABLET contains ‘quetiapine’ which is an antipsychotic drug. It acts by blocking dopamine, a hormone present in the brain responsible for the development of symptoms in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. QPIN SR 100MG TABLET also has effects on other neurotransmitters in the brain such as serotonin and its beneficial effects may be related to this as well. Altogether QPIN SR 100MG TABLET rebalances dopamine and serotonin to improve thinking, mood and behaviour.
Q-Pin SR 100 TABLET is available in two dosage forms: oral tablet and injection.
