Seroquel Not Intended for Treat  Children: Legal Help if your Child or Teen Was Harmed

Please note: While Weitz & Luxenberg is providing information about Seroquel and a number of physical and mental health-related side effects that may have been linked to the use of Seroquel, the firm is only considering cases in which a child or adolescent was prescribed Seroquel and these children developed diabetes.

While Seroquel may seem like a good treatment option for a child with bipolar or schizophrenia disorders, it is not recommended.

Treatment with Seroquel is intended for adults 18 years of age or older.

Medical questions regarding your child and Seroquel should only be answered by a doctor or other health care professional.

Weitz & Luxenberg is investigating cases involving young children or adolescents who took the drug Seroquel and then developed diabetes. AstraZeneca may be responsible for their damages.

Thousands of children are being prescribed this powerful brain-affecting medication, despite the fact that they do not have psychosis or one of the other indicated major mental illnesses. It does not appear that they are being adequately warned of the potential risks of life-long diabetes.

The firm believes AstraZeneca has been illegally promoting the drug for use in children and that AstraZeneca still fails to properly warn of the diabetes risk.

Weitz & Luxenberg intends to pursue AstraZeneca on behalf of any child who has been caused diabetes by what the firm believes is AstraZeneca's reckless disregard for the health and safety of these children.
