2. Duration of Therapy

Low-dose quetiapine (less than 150 mg/day) is only FDA-approved as part of a drug titration schedule to aid patients in getting to the target quetiapine dosage goal (see Table 1). Therefore, quetiapine dosages less than 150 mg/day should not be prescribed for more than 30 days, except in elderly and debilitated patients. Quetiapine dosages less than 150 mg/day prescribed for greater than 30 days, except in elderly and debilitated patients, are not recommended and will be reviewed.
