Medicine Description quitapex-uae 100 mg
quitapex 100 mg 30 tablets - rosheta uae is a medication that contains quetiapine, an atypical antipsychotic. It operates primarily by antagonizing serotonin receptors, particularly 5-HT2A and 5-HT2C, which leads to increased serotonin levels in the synaptic cleft. Moreover, quetiapine also blocks dopamine D2 receptors, helping regulate dopaminergic activity, thereby alleviating symptoms of psychosis and mood disorders. This dual action on serotonin and dopamine pathways contributes to its efficacy in managing conditions such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, stabilizing mood and mitigating psychotic episodes.
