Seroquel is used to treat schizophrenia and bipolar mania.

Increased occurrences of diabetes, hyperglycemia, and weight gain have been associated with the use of Seroquel. A recent study by the National Institute of Mental Health showed that 12% of Seroquel patients experienced weight gain. Only 3% of recipients of the older drugs experienced similar results.

As reported by the FDA in April of 2004:

FDA and AstraZeneca notified healthcare professionals of revision to the WARNINGS section of labeling, describing the increased risk of hyperglycemia and diabetes in patients taking Seroquel. FDA has asked all manufacturers of atypical antipsychotic medications, including AstraZeneca, to add this Warning statement to labeling.
