Table of contents:

Abilify Oral Solution (generically known as Aripiprazole) is a medication used to treat schizophrenia in adults and adolescents ages 15 years and older. It can be used to treat various mental health conditions like bipolar disorder, and major depressive disorder.

Aripiprazole is classified as an atypical antipsychotic and is used to treat schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and depression in adults. It works by affecting the activity of certain chemicals in the brain, particularly dopamine and serotonin. Specifically, the Solution functions as a partial agonist of dopamine D2 receptors, which reduces dopamine activity in the brain. By doing so, it helps to reduce the symptoms of psychosis, such as delusions or hallucinations. Additionally, Abilify Oral Solution has a partial agonist effect on serotonin 5-HT1A receptors that may help to improve mood.

Use and Dosage

Abilify Oral Solution can be taken with or without food at the same time each day. When using the medication, you should measure the prescribed amount of the solution using a special measuring device or cup provided with the medication.

The use of Abilify Oral Solution should always be directed by a healthcare professional and according to the patient's individual needs and medical condition. However, here is some general information on how to use Abilify Oral Solution:

  1. Shake the container well before using.
  2. Measure the dose using the supplied oral syringe. Do not use a regular household spoon, as it may not give the correct dose.
  3. Administer the dose directly into the mouth, or mix it with a glass of water, orange juice or apple juice before administration. Drink the mixture immediately after mixing.
  4. Abilify Oral Solution may be taken with or without food.
  5. Store the Abilify Oral Solution at room temperature and keep it out of the reach of children.

Follow the instructions and dosage specified by your healthcare provider when administering Abilify Oral Solution. If you have any questions or concerns, consult your healthcare provider.

It may take a few weeks before you experience the medication's full effect. To get the most out of it, use it regularly and at the same time each day.
