Brief Answer:
The medicines are safe to use.

Detailed Answer:
Hello, Welcome to Health Care Magic

I can understand your concern. Costochondritis is infection involving ribs. The medicines you have been advised are Seroquel or Quetiapine and Neurontin or Gabapentin.

Both are safe medicines and are free of serious side effects. 25 mg Quetiapine is a safe dose and this will not effect the heart. Similarly 400 mg Neurontin is a low dose and this will help in good sleep without effects on heart. So no need to worry, you are on right and safe.

Thanks, hope this helps you. Take care.

Please don't hesitate to ask again for more doubts.
