Aripiprazole (15mg)

Overview Ariphrenz 15mg Tablet

Aripiprazole 15mg tablets are an antipsychotic medication indicated for schizophrenia (a severe mental illness causing hallucinations, delusions, and impaired thinking and behavior), and manic episodes. This medication is also used to manage depressive and bipolar disorders. Administer orally, with or without food, preferably in the morning; consistent daily timing ensures stable drug levels. Follow your physician's prescribed dosage and duration; if a dose is missed, take it immediately upon recollection. Complete the entire course of treatment, even with symptom improvement. Abrupt cessation should be avoided; consult your doctor first, as this can exacerbate symptoms. Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, blurred vision, and dry mouth. Initially, postural hypotension (sudden blood pressure drop upon standing) may occur; rise slowly from sitting or lying positions. Drowsiness and dizziness are also possible; avoid driving or tasks requiring alertness until the effects are known. This medication may elevate blood sugar and cholesterol; lifestyle modifications like diet and exercise can mitigate these effects. Report any unusual mood or behavioral changes, new or worsening depression, or suicidal ideation to your doctor immediately.
