Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Quetiapine 40 mg/ml Oral Suspension is a compounded medication specifically designed to treat various mental health conditions such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and major depressive disorder. This formulation is a liquid dosage form, where one or more ingredients are uniformly dispersed throughout a liquid medium, creating a homogeneous mixture for administration. This design offers a more convenient and palatable alternative to traditional pill forms of quetiapine.

Quetiapine is classified as an atypical antipsychotic medication. It functions by blocking certain receptors in the brain, which in turn helps to alleviate symptoms associated with mental health conditions. The formulation is available in a range of strengths, from 10 mg/ml up to 40 mg/ml, providing flexibility in dosage to cater to individual patient needs. It is crucial to remember that the dosage of quetiapine should be personalized for each patient, and adjustments should be made based on the patient's response to the medication.

These may include drowsiness, dizziness, dry mouth, and weight gain. Furthermore, quetiapine can interact with other medications, making it essential to discuss all current medications with your healthcare provider before starting quetiapine.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
