Seroquel Linked to Diabetes, Other Health Problems in Children and Young Adults. Get Help for your Seroquel Injury from our Law Firm.

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 the drug. However, our law firm is only reviewing cases involving a child, teenager or adult under the age of 25 who took Seroquel and later developed Type 2 diabetes or other serious diseases.

Since 1997, the global pharmaceutical giant AstraZeneca International has marketed the prescription drug Seroquel. The drug, which was first approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat schizophrenia, received additional approvals to treat other mental health disorders, including bipolar disorder.

In the 13+ years since Seroquel was first approved, the drug has been linked to a number of serious, and in some cases, potentially life-threatening side effects.

Diabetes in Teens and Young Adults
Seroquel has been prescribed to countless children, adolescents and young adults suffering from a number of behavioral, emotional and psychological problems such as bipolar disorder, ADHD and insomnia. The drug was also given to younger adults suffering from more severe mental health disorders, such as schizophrenia.

Tragically, a number of these children and young adults developed Type 2 diabetes, a condition that can cause many serious health problems for otherwise healthy younger patients.

While a diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes brings any number of health risks, many younger adults are able to adapt to the dietary restrictions and quickly learn to comply with daily blood testing and the drug therapies required to keep both insulin and blood glucose healthy levels.

Teenagers or young adults who have required Seroquel therapy face even more health complications, as their mental health problems may also cause them to have problems with dietary and drug compliance.  Diabetics also face an increased risk for dangerous interactions with over the counter and prescription drugs and alcohol, placing younger Seroquel patients who may also abuse drugs and/or alcohol at even greater risk for potentially life-threatening complications from Seroquel-related diabetes.
