Default Just FYI - Canada and Quetiapine/Seroquel

Hi all you lovely people. Just came across this in my travels and thought I'd post it here for any Canadians using Seroquel...

As of May 17, 2013, Health Canada has not received any adverse reactions associated with the possibility of contamination of Quetiapine and Clindamycin.

The population at risk includes those who are susceptible or hypersensitive to the antibiotics clindamycin or lincomycin. The risks include mild skin rashes; however, hives and in rare instances more serious skin disorders resembling Stevens-Johnson syndrome (a more severe rash with blisters and peeling skin), and a few cases of anaphylactoid reactions have also been reported during drug therapy with clindamycin.
