Seroquel Contraindications

Seroquel Lawsuit

A contraindication is a factor or condition that would predispose a person from using a certain medication. These factors can include previous history of abuse of a drug, allergy, concurrent use of another medication that would heighten or reduce the effectiveness of the drug, or when the use of the drug could cause more harm than good. Contraindications are some of the most valuable pieces of information a doctor has when prescribing any drug.

For example, if a person suffered from a stomach ulcer, taking aspirin would be contraindicated because while it does relieve pain, it can aggravate the stomach, actually making the problem worse. Every drug approved by the FDA has a list of contraindications, and it is the responsibility of the doctor or the prescribing entity to be aware of the potential risks of using the drug.

Seroquel contraindications include hypersensitivity to the medication or any of its ingredients. People with a history of seizures should consult their doctor before using Seroquel, as should patients with cardiovascular disease, cerebrovascular disease, dehydration, diabetes, hyperglycemia, pancreas problems, hypovolemia, Alzheimer's disease, hypothyroidism, pregnancy, and hepatic impairment.
