Aripiprazole, sold under the brand names Abilify and Aristada, among others, is an atypical antipsychotic.[8] It is primarily used in the treatment of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder;[8] other uses include as an add-on treatment in major depressive disorder and obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD), tic disorders, and irritability associated with autism.[8] Aripiprazole is taken by mouth or via injection into a muscle.[8] A Cochrane review found low-quality evidence of effectiveness in treating schizophrenia.[9]

Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, constipation, sleepiness, dizziness, weight gain, and akathisia.[8] Serious side effects may include neuroleptic malignant syndrome, tardive dyskinesia and anaphylaxis.[8] It is not recommended for older people with dementia-related psychosis due to an increased risk of death.[8] In pregnancy, there is evidence of possible harm to the fetus.[8][10] It is not recommended in women who are breastfeeding.[8] It has not been very well studied in people less than 18 years old.[8]

Aripiprazole was approved for medical use in the United States in 2002.[8] It is available as a generic medication.[11] In 2022, it was the 106th most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than 6 million prescriptions.[12][13] It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines.[14]
