Mom is bedridden now and increasingly unresponsive, eating and drinking very little. Since we know Seroquel is tolerated we'd like to continue using it to control agitation so she can rest comfortably. Until now she's taken it crushed and mixed with apple sauce. How can we get it into her now that swallowing probably isn't an option any more? Thank you for helping.
There may be other formulations available, a pharmacist is the best person to know what is available in that regard, you should also consult her doctors.
There's another alternative, but I emphasize I don't know if this is realistic or possible, and that's by injection or IV.
Is your mother still in your home? Is she on hospice? If so, and if Seroquel can be injected, perhaps a hospice nurse could handle this for you?
I'm hoping the nursing contingent here will offer opinions on this; they know more about injecting this type of medicine than I do.
