Description

Aripiprazole 15 mg tablets, marketed under the brand name Abilify®, are an atypical antipsychotic medication used in the treatment of various mental health disorders. Aripiprazole works by modulating the activity of certain neurotransmitters in the brain, including dopamine and serotonin. This modulation helps to stabilize mood and thought patterns, making it effective in the treatment of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and major depressive disorder.

As an antipsychotic, aripiprazole helps to manage the symptoms of schizophrenia, including delusions, hallucinations, and disorganized thinking. It also stabilizes mood swings in individuals with bipolar disorder, reducing the occurrence of manic and depressive episodes. Aripiprazole is used as an adjunctive treatment for major depressive disorder, providing relief for patients who do not respond sufficiently to antidepressant therapy alone.

The 15 mg tablet form of aripiprazole is designed for oral administration, typically taken once daily. Common side effects of aripiprazole include insomnia, restlessness, anxiety, and dizziness. Serious side effects may include changes in mood, suicidal thoughts, and movement disorders.
