WHAT ABILIFY IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
ABILIFY contains the active substance aripiprazole and belongs to a
group of medicines called
antipsychotics. It
is used to treat adults and adolescents aged 15 years and older who
suffer from a
disease characterised by symptoms such as hearing, seeing or sensing
things which are not there,
suspiciousness, mistaken beliefs, incoherent speech and behaviour and
emotional flatness. People with
this condition may also feel depressed, guilty, anxious or tense.
ABILIFY is used to treat adults and adolescents aged 13 years and
older who suffer from a condition
with symptoms such as feeling "high", having excessive amounts of
energy, needing much less sleep
than usual, talking very quickly with racing ideas and sometimes
severe irritability. In adults it also
prevents this condition from returning in patients who have responded
to the treatment with ABILIFY.
