BLUE AND WHITE CAPSULE ## what is this used for. What it is in it ## Pfizer lists this capsule as being a 20mg Geodon tablet, which contains the active ingredient Ziprasidone. It is used to treat various types of mental health disorders. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, mood changes, somnolence, and weight changes. The inactive ingredient list for this one is very short and my include: lactose, magnesium stearate, though it may vary depending on the manufacturing facility. The original post is a bit old, I think, so that is all the information I have been able to find on it. Pfizer might have stopped producing it, or changed the imprint codes. Is there anything else I can help with?

Hi, I've been on 300mg Seroquel 4 years. My pharmacy doesn't have any currently but said they have Zyprexa. Does anyone know what Zyprexa mg equals 300mg of Seroquel ? My doctor is out of town till next week, then I will ask him too. Thank you. ## I would confirm with a pharmacist but if I do some math based on the findings in this pubmed article, which states: Doses equivalent to 100 mg/day of chlorpromazine were 2 mg/day for risperidone, 5 mg/day for olanzapine, 75 mg/day for quetiapine, 60 mg/day for ziprasidone, and 7.5 mg/day for aripiprazole. So if we take that at face value and assume that 5 mg/day Olanzapine (Zyprexa) is equivalent to 75 mg/day Queiapine (Seroquel): 5 / 75 ~ 0.0667 Therefore, 300 mg Seroquel * 0.0667 ~ 20 mg Zyprexa. Please note that clinical effects (li...
