How it works
From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (Aripiprazole). It describes the substance, not this exact product.
The mechanism of action of aripiprazole in schizophrenia or bipolar mania, is unclear.
However, the efficacy of aripiprazole in the listed indications could be mediated through a combination of partial agonist activity at D 2 and 5-HT 1A receptors and antagonist activity at 5-HT 2A receptors.
Elimination of aripiprazole is mainly through hepatic metabolism involving two P450 isozymes, CYP2D6 and CYP3A4.
Less than 1% of unchanged aripiprazole was excreted in the urine and approximately 18% of the dose was recovered unchanged in the feces.
Aripiprazole tablets can be administered with or without food.
