How it works

From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (Brexpiprazole). It describes the substance, not this exact product.

The mechanism of action of brexpiprazole in the treatment of major depressive disorder or schizophrenia is unknown.

However, the efficacy of brexpiprazole may be mediated through a combination of partial agonist activity at serotonin 5-HT 1A and dopamine D 2 receptors, and antagonist activity at serotonin 5-HT 2A receptors.

How the body breaks it down

Based on in vitro metabolism studies of brexpiprazole using recombinant human cytochrome P450 (CYP1A1, 1A2, 2A6, 2B6, 2C8, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6, 2E1, and 3A4), the metabolism of brexpiprazole was shown to be mainly mediated by CYP3A4 and CYP2D6.

How it leaves the body

Less than 1% of unchanged brexpiprazole was excreted in the urine, and approximately 14% of the oral dose was recovered unchanged in the feces.

With food

Brexpiprazole tablets can be administered with or without food.
