Seropin is a pharmaceutical drug indicated for the treatment of patients' psychological problems. The drug can cause side effects if the patient takes it on their own without a doctor's prescription. Here is some information to help you understand what Seropin is and what does Seropin do?
1. Uses of Seropin
Seropin belongs to the group of drugs used to treat psychotic syndromes. The drug comes in the form of film-coated tablets. Quetiapine is the main active ingredient in the drug. This ingredient is on the list of drugs commonly used by patients with psychosis syndromes. When fully absorbed by the body, it creates binding for 83% of plasma proteins. Then it takes 7 - 12 hours for the body to start the elimination process.
Indications for the use of Seropin are for patients with psychological syndromes. You may be prescribed if you are one of the following:
Treatment of schizophrenia Treatment of manifestations of bipolar disorder Treatment of manic episodes With some other psychiatric symptoms the doctor may consider prompt when prescribing. You can go to the hospital for a doctor's examination and specific instructions if you are using drugs to treat other conditions specified above. With indications not on the published list, you should carefully monitor your health to avoid side effects.
2. Dosage and how to use Seropin
Seropin is available in film-coated form for oral administration. You need to be careful to take the medicine exactly as prescribed by your doctor. With oral medication should add 1 glass of water after use. Water will increase the solution environment in the body, helping the metabolism to take place quickly and helping the drug concentration to reach maximum.
The dose of the drug used is considered for each patient. For different medical conditions, the dosage is also adjusted differently. Furthermore, the dose is not required throughout the course of treatment. Dosage should be evaluated, reviewed and adjusted regularly according to the patient's disease progression.
Treatment of schizophrenia Patients with schizophrenia syndrome should take the drug 2 times a day before or after meals. In the first 4 days, the dose will change in the order of 50 mg - 100mg - 200mg - 300mg. Then from the 5th day, the doctor will consider re-prescribing for the patient to use at a dose in the range of 300 - 450 mg / day. For patients with poor drug tolerance, the maximum dose is 750 mg.
Treatment of bipolar disorder The patient is prescribed to use the drug 2 times a day before or after eating. Dosage for the first 4 days should be done in the order: 100mg - 200 mg - 300 mg - 400 mg. If the patient's condition requires an increase in dose, the dose may be increased to 800mg/day until the 6th day of treatment. However, the dose difference should not exceed 200mg per day. Dosage after the first 4 days will vary from 400 to 800 mg depending on the absorption status of each patient.
Psychiatric treatment for the elderly The elderly when using the drug the first dose will be prescribed 25mg / day. The daily dose will be increased to 25 - 50 mg. The dose adjustment needs to be checked by the doctor regularly to be effective. However, elderly people should not use high doses of Seropin as adults.

Although it is not certain how safe or effective the drug is, this is a group of people who are not recommended to use it. In case there is no better drug to replace, consider Seropin.
Treatment of patients diagnosed with the syndrome of impaired liver and kidney function Patients with renal failure after taking Seropin will reduce the clearance rate by about 25%. Therefore, the dose for this subject is lowered as with the elderly at the first dose of 25mg/day, then increased by 25-50mg daily. Dosage is increased until the desired effect of the drug is achieved as set by the doctor.
