Cautions with other medicines

Some medicines may affect how quetiapine works.

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking or have recently taken any other medicines, including:

• medicines for fungal infections such as ketoconazole or fluconazole

These are not all the medicines that may affect quetiapine. For a full list see the leaflet inside your medicines packet.

Mixing quetiapine with herbal remedies and supplements

There might be a problem taking some herbal remedies and supplements alongside quetiapine, especially ones that make you feel sleepy or dizzy.

There's not enough information to say that complementary medicines, herbal remedies and supplements are safe to take with quetiapine. They're not tested in the same way as pharmacy and prescription medicines. They're generally not tested for the effect they have on other medicines.
