Uses of Aripan 20 mg Tablet

Aripan 20 mg Tablet is used to treat schizophrenia in adults and adolescents, and manic episodes of bipolar disorder, as well as to help prevent mania from returning. In some countries it is also added to an antidepressant when depression has not responded well enough. It helps reduce symptoms such as hallucinations, disturbed thinking, agitation and extreme mood swings.

How Aripan 20 mg Tablet works

Aripiprazole is a partial agonist at dopamine D2 receptors, which means it dampens dopamine activity where it is too high and can support it where it is too low. It also acts on serotonin receptors. This balancing effect helps stabilise thinking, perception and mood.
