Aribit (Aripiprazole) tablets

Aripiprazole, sold under the brand names Abilify and Aristada, among others, is an atypical antipsychotic.[7] It is primarily used in the treatment of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder;[7] other uses include as an add-on treatment in major depressive disorder and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), tic disorders, and irritability associated with autism.[7] Aripiprazole is taken by mouth or via injection into a muscle.[7] A Cochrane review found low-quality evidence of effectiveness in treating schizophrenia.[8]

In adults, side effects with greater than 10% incidence include weight gain, headache, akathisia, insomnia, and gastrointestinal effects like nausea and constipation, and lightheadedness and twitching which is common in antidepressants and antipsychotics.[4][5][6][9][10] Side effects in children are similar, and include sleepiness, increased appetite, and stuffy nose.[9] Common side effects include vomiting, constipation, sleepiness, dizziness, weight gain and movement disorders.[7] Serious side effects may include neuroleptic malignant syndrome, tardive dyskinesia and anaphylaxis.[7] It is not recommended for older people with dementia-related psychosis due to an increased risk of death.[7] In pregnancy, there is evidence of possible harm to the fetus.[7][11] It is not recommended in women who are breastfeeding.[7] It has not been very well studied in people less than 18 years old.[7]

Aripiprazole was approved for medical use in the United States in 2002.[7] It is available as a generic medication.[12] In 2021, it was the 99th most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than 6 million prescriptions.[13][14] It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines.[15]
