Generic Seroquel

Is Quetiapine a Generic Seroquel?

No, it isn't. Quetiapine is the active ingredient in Seroquel, not a generic version of it. Oftentimes, the active ingredient of any drug is referred to as its "generic name." But the generic name of a medicine is different from a generic version of it. For there to be a generic version of a medicine, the original medicine must have gone off-patent and another company besides the original manufacturer must make the product.
