Description:
Aripiprazole is an atypical antipsychotic used to treat schizophrenia. Unlike most other antipsychotics, it acts as a partial agonist at dopamine and serotonin receptors while blocking serotonin receptors. This unique mechanism helps reduce hallucinations and delusions while generally causing fewer side effects related to movement and sedation. Common side effects include restlessness (akathisia), insomnia, nausea, and sometimes weight gain, though usually less than with other agents like olanzapine. Aripiprazole is available in tablets, orally disintegrating tablets, liquid solution, and long-acting injectable forms, making it useful for both acute and maintenance treatment of schizophrenia.
