Seroquel, manufactured by AstraZeneca, is an atypical antipsychotic medication prescribed for the treatment of schizophrenia and the manic aspect of bipolar disorder. Seroquel is also used to treat conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder, alcoholism and obsessive compulsive disorder. Recent studies show Seroquel can cause diabetes and rare, incurable neurological disorders such as neuroleptic malignant syndrome.

These life threatening side effects have caused Seroquel to be considered a defective drug. Often drug companies are negligent and do not fully inform doctors and patients about these dangerous side effects. AstraZeneca may be required to compensate individuals who have developed diabetes or a neurological disorder due to using Seroquel. If you have experienced an illness or disorder due to taking Seroquel, you should contact Aylstock, Witkin, Kreis & Overholtz at (888) 255-2956 to learn more about your legal rights and the possibility of compensation.

Side Effects of Seroquel

The development of diabetes or a neurological disease due to taking Seroquel illustrates AstraZeneca's negligence in protecting its consumers. The onset of diabetes can occur rapidly and with little warning. If diabetes is left unnoticed and untreated, it can lead to serious health risks, including a diabetic coma or death. It is highly recommended that Seroquel users be closely monitored by their doctors to ensure they are not in any danger of developing diabetes.

Filing a Seroquel Lawsuit

AstraZeneca's unwillingness to remove Seroquel from the market or fully inform doctors and patients about the serious side effects magnifies the company's negligence. By law, pharmaceutical companies are required to fully inform doctors and patients about the harmful side effects of their drugs. AstraZeneca's disregard for their consumer's well-being has made them potentially liable for causing diabetes or a neurological disorder in patients using Seroquel.
