Seroquel XR (extended-release) and regular Seroquel (immediate-release) contain the same active ingredient, quetiapine, but differ in how quickly they are absorbed and how often they need to be taken. Seroquel XR is usually taken once daily and may have a lower risk of certain side effects like sedation, while regular Seroquel is often taken multiple times a day. Whether one is better depends on individual needs and your doctor's recommendation.
