 Aripiprazole ( Abilitat )   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
In patients with acute relapse of schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder, aripiprazole 15 to 30 mg/day was at least as effective as haloperidol 10 mg/day and had similar efficacy to risperidone 6 mg/day in well designed, 4-week, placebo-controlled trials.
Aripiprazole was superior to placebo in a 26-week trial in patients with stable, chronic schizophrenia.
In a 52-week trial involving patients with acute relapsing disease, aripiprazole was similar to haloperidol as assessed by time to failure to maintain response and was superior in ameliorating negative and depressive symptoms.

 NAMI | Abilify (aripiprazole)
Aripiprazole is an "atypical" antipsychotic medication approved for the treatment of schizophrenia by the FDA in 2002.
Aripiprazole helps manage positive symptoms (e.g., hallucinations, delusions, and thought disturbances) as well as negative symptoms (e.g., social withdrawal, inability to experience pleasure, and blunted affect) of schizophrenia.
If a dose of aripiprazole is missed, take it as soon as you remember it, if it is not too close to when your next dose is due—discuss this with your health care provider.

Aripiprazole appears to mediate its antipsychotic effects primarily by partial agonism at the D2 receptor.

Aripiprazole has moderate affinity for histamine and alpha adrenergic receptors, and no appreciable affinity for cholinergic muscarinic receptors.

Of a total of seventeen placebo controlled trials performed with olanzapine (Zyprexa), aripiprazole (Abilify), risperidone (Risperdal), or quetiapine (Seroquel) in elderly demented patients with behavioral disorders, fifteen showed numerical increases in mortality in the drug-treated group compared to the placebo-treated patients.

 Aripiprazole ( Abilify, Abilitat )
Moreover, in contrast to classical antipsychotics that produce disabling movement disorders, aripiprazole does not cause an upregulation of D2 receptors or an increase in expression of the c-fos mRNA in the striatum, in agreement with the low risk for extrapyramidal side effects (EPS) during aripiprazole treatment [245781], [262096], [350481], [350483].
Collectively, aripiprazole is an important atypical antipsychotic candidate with a favorable safety profile.
Moreover, the mechanism of action of aripiprazole differentiates it from both typical and atypical antipsychotics and hence, may provide important leads for pharmacotherapy of schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders.
