Can Serequal Be Discontinued If Taken At A Non-therapeutic Dose?

discontinue the drug if no benefit; abortion possible with ergot.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to HealthcareMagic.
I can understand your concerns.
First, no psychotropic drug should be taken just for the sake of taking the drug because others say so.
Just for your information about epilim (sodium valproate), the recommended therapeutic doses of this drug are in range of 20-30 mg/kg. And, the therapeutic blood levels of this drug should be between 50-125 ug/ml.
So, 1000 mg may or may not be a therapeutic dose depending on the body weight.
Despite this, when there is no benefit of a drug, it should not be taken. The dose does not matter in this case.
In short,
You should not take the drug if there are no therapeutic benefits, irrespective of the dose.
Seroquel is a very good drug as it has broad spectrum of action. It acts as a mood stabiliser, anti-anxiety and sedating drug.
If you have benefits with this single drug, there is no use of taking multiple drugs unnecessarily.
Yes, ergot can cause miscarriage in a woman when eaten, as it can cause uterine contractions.
Hope this answers your query satisfactorily.
I will happy to help you if you have more issues to discuss.
Wish you good health.
Thanks.


do not think its illegal; abortifacient.
Detailed Answer:
Hello again.
I do not think putting ergot in food without knowledge is illegal.
If it has resulted into serious consequences, then there can be legal liabilities.
However, the state laws may vary in this regard.
A forensic or legal expert can answer to this better.
Ergot can serve as an abortifacient in a group of women, if given to them unknowingly.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.
