Patient summary

Aripiprazole tablets in five strengths from 5mg to 30mg, used in the management of schizophrenia and manic episodes. Taken by mouth once daily.

Mechanism of action

Aripiprazole acts as a partial agonist at dopamine D2 and serotonin 5-HT1A receptors, while acting as an antagonist at serotonin 5-HT2A receptors. This unique mechanism helps normalize dopamine activity in the brain.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

Pregnancy: Use only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus. Breastfeeding: Not recommended; discuss alternatives with your doctor.
