queitiapine fumarate is the generic name for seroquel, but I agree that it should state as much on the outside bottle.

I take a drug called “QUEITIAPINE FUMARATE” and my comment is: ASTRAZENECA, the makers of (Seroquel) should I think, warn the pharmacist to not put pills in bottles that “sez” one name on the bottle and “sez” another name on the pills in the bottle. i,e;, on my bottle it reads “QUEITIAPINE FUMARATE” 400MG, but on the pills in the bottle it reads “SEROQUEL” 400MG…

Actually, the case was brought by AstraZeneca. Teva’s remaining defense was inequitable conduct and it lost.
