Aripiprazole (20mg)

Overview Arena 20mg Tablet

Aripiprazole 20mg tablets are prescribed for managing psychosis. This medication effectively treats schizophrenia (a mental illness characterized by impaired thinking, behavior, and potentially hallucinations or delusions) and manic episodes. It's also utilized in the treatment of depressive disorders and bipolar conditions. Administer orally, with or without food, ideally at the same time each morning for consistent blood levels. Follow your physician's instructions precisely regarding dosage and duration; take any missed dose immediately upon recall. Complete the prescribed course, even if feeling improved, and never discontinue use abruptly without consulting your doctor to avoid symptom exacerbation. Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, blurred vision, and dry mouth. Initially, postural hypotension (a sudden drop in blood pressure upon standing) may occur; rise slowly from a sitting or lying position. Dizziness and drowsiness are also possible; avoid driving or activities requiring alertness until the medication's effects are known. Increased blood sugar and cholesterol are potential side effects, mitigated by healthy eating and regular exercise. Report any unusual mood shifts, worsening depression, or suicidal ideation to your doctor immediately.
