Recent studies seem to indicate that the prescription medication Seroquel may have serious side effects and could pose a health risk to particular individuals and groups, and may cause blood sugar disorders (e.g, diabetes) or pancreatitis. Links between Seroquel and diabetes and panceatitis are currently under investigation.

Seroquel is in the class of drugs called atypical antipsychotics, which are a newer class of antipsychotics touted as having a lower incidence of blood sugar disorders than the older medications such as Haldol and Thorazine. However, after Seroquel, and other drugs in the class, were approved and used by millions of patients, studies suggest that Seroquel could elevate the risk of developing diabetes.

"Data from a study to be reported at a weekend medical conference in Philadelphia showed patients on Seroquel had 3.34 times as many cases of diabetes as those on older drugs, the Wall Street Journal reported." -- www.msnbc.com (8/22/03)
