Drug data last refreshed 23h ago · AI intelligence enriched 3w ago
ABILIFY (aripiprazole) is an oral atypical antipsychotic tablet approved in November 2002 for the treatment of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and depression augmentation. The drug works through a combination of partial agonist activity at dopamine D2 and serotonin 5-HT1A receptors, along with antagonist activity at 5-HT2A receptors, though the exact mechanism of efficacy remains incompletely understood. It represents a foundational therapy in the atypical antipsychotic class and has established a broad clinical footprint across multiple psychiatric indications.
