MANUFACTURED BY SANDOZ
Aripiprazole (often known by the brand name Abilify) is an atypical antipsychotic medication. It is unique in its class because it acts as a "dopamine system stabilizer." Instead of simply blocking dopamine, it balances levels of dopamine and serotonin in the brain—increasing them where they are too low and decreasing them where they are too high. This helps to stabilize mood and thought processes.
This 28-tablet pack is used for the long-term management of mental health conditions. It is primarily indicated for:
Schizophrenia: Treating symptoms such as hearing voices, seeing things that aren't there, or experiencing unusual suspiciousness.
Bipolar I Disorder: Treating moderate to severe manic episodes and preventing new manic episodes in adults.
Major Depressive Disorder (MDD): Used as an "add-on" treatment for patients who are already taking an antidepressant but still have persistent symptoms.
Irritability associated with Autistic Disorder: Managing behavioral symptoms in pediatric patients (under specialist guidance).
Aripiprazole (10mg): A standard therapeutic dose manufactured by Sandoz, a global leader in high-quality generic pharmaceuticals, ensuring the same efficacy and safety standards as the original brand.
Standard Dose: Usually one (1) 10mg tablet once daily.
Consistency: Take the tablet at the same time every day. This helps maintain a steady level of the medication in your bloodstream.
Adjustment: Your doctor may start you on a lower dose and gradually increase it to 10mg or higher based on your response.
Administration: Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. It can be taken with or without food.
Routine: Many patients prefer taking it in the morning, but if it makes you feel drowsy, you may take it in the evening.
Duration: Do not stop taking Aripiprazole suddenly, even if you feel better. Stopping abruptly can cause symptoms to return or lead to withdrawal effects.
Drowsiness and Alertness: Aripiprazole may cause sleepiness or dizziness. Avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until you know how this medication affects you.
Impulse Control: In rare cases, this medication may cause intense urges to gamble, binge eat, or engage in other impulsive behaviors. If you notice these changes, contact our pharmacist immediately.
Weight and Metabolism: Antipsychotics can sometimes affect weight and blood sugar levels. Regular monitoring of your weight and blood glucose is recommended.
Heat Sensitivity: This medication can make it harder for your body to cool down. Drink plenty of water and avoid overexertion in hot weather.
Alcohol: Avoid drinking alcohol while taking Aripiprazole, as it can worsen side effects like dizziness and sedation.
Indicated For: Adults and adolescents diagnosed with specific mood or thought disorders. It is particularly beneficial for those who require a medication with a lower risk of significant weight gain compared to other antipsychotics.
Q: How long does it take to work?
A: You may notice some improvement within the first 1–2 weeks, but the full therapeutic effect of Aripiprazole often takes 4 to 6 weeks of consistent use.
Q: Can I take this if I am pregnant?
A: Use during pregnancy should be discussed with your doctor. If taken during the third trimester, it may cause temporary withdrawal symptoms in the newborn.
Q: Why are there 28 tablets?
A: This provides a standard 4-week supply, making it easier to manage monthly prescription refills and follow-up consultations.
