Seroquin dosing

Usual Adult Dose for Schizophrenia:

Immediate-release tablets:
Initial Dose: 25 mg orally twice a day.
The dosage may be increased in increments of 25 to 50 mg two times a day or three times a day on the second and third days. By the fourth day a dosage range of 300 mg to 400 mg daily (divided into 2 or 3 doses a day) may be achieved. Additional dosage adjustments (increases or decreases) of 25 to 50 mg twice a day may be made, as needed. However, at least 2 days should pass between the additional dosage adjustments.
Efficacy in schizophrenia has been reported with doses ranging from 150 to 750 mg/day. Maximum clinical effect has been reported at 300 mg/day. The safety of doses above 800 mg/day has not been evaluated in clinical trials.
Extended-release tablets:
Initial dose: 300 mg orally once daily without food or with a light meal.
Maintenance dose: 400 to 800 mg orally once daily depending on response and tolerance.
Maximum dose: Doses above 800 mg daily have not been studied.
The dosage of the extended-release tablets may be increased in increments of up to 300 mg daily at intervals as short as 1 day.
The efficacy of Seroquin in long-term use (over 6 weeks) has not been studied in clinical trials. Patients who respond favorably to Seroquin may be continued on the lowest dose which is effective in maintaining their remission. Patients should be periodically reassessed to determine their need for maintenance treatment.

Mania associated with bipolar I disorder as monotherapy or as adjunct therapy to lithium or divalproex:
Initial Dose: 50 mg orally twice a day
The dose may be increased to 200 mg orally twice daily on day 4 in increments of up to 50 mg twice daily. Further dosage adjustments up to 800 mg per day by day 6 should be in increments of no greater than 200 mg/day. Data has been reported to indicate that the majority of patients responded between 400 mg per day to 800 mg per day. The safety of doses above 800 mg per day has not been evaluated in clinical trials.

Depressive episodes associated with bipolar disorder:
Initial dose: 50 mg orally once a day

Some patients may require a further increase to 600 mg once a day by increasing the daily dose to 400 mg on day 5 and 600 mg on day 8 of treatment. Efficacy was demonstrated in this patient population at both 300 mg and 600 mg per day. However, no additional benefit was observed in patients receiving 600 mg per day as compared to those patients receiving 300 mg per day.
