Abilify Solution (Aripiprazole)

Abilify Solution (Aripiprazole) Product Information

Abilify Solution is a type of medicine used to treat people with a unique disease that causes them to see, sense or hear non-existent things. It can be prescribed in addition to antidepressant drugs, if they are not helping with your symptoms after weeks of treatment. There are other conditions that a doctor may prescribe this medication for.

What is Abilify Solution used for?

Designed for adults and children 13 years and older, Abilify Solution is a prescription medicine used to treat patients who see, hear or sense things that don’t exist. This condition causes victims to experience incoherent speech, emotional stress and anxiety, guilt, mistaken beliefs, and tension. Additionally, they tend to feel more energetic than usual; sleep less than normal people do, and talk really fast.

The active ingredient in Abilify solution is Aripiprazole. It also contains  sucrose, parahydroxybenzoates and fructose. Each milliliter of Abilify has 200mg of fructose and 400mg of sucrose, so this medicine might not be suitable for you if you are intolerant to such sugars or allergic to parahydroxybenzoates.

Dosage

The most important point to keep in mind, is to take Abilify Solution exactly as directed by your doctor or pharmacist. The typical dosage for an adult is 15 ml once a day, and 10 ml if it is  being taken by a teenager. However, you should keenly follow your doctor's directions if they direct you to take less or more.

To measure your dose correctly, use a calibrated cup or a 2ml calibrated dropper that is usually packed with the Abilify solution. For maximization of the drug’s effectiveness, take it the same hour every day. This will maintain a constant level of Abilify in the blood.

Abilify can be taken with or without food, and even if you don’t like how the liquid tastes, don’t dilute it with  water or juice. Take your oral solution the way it is provided by your healthcare professional. If your symptoms go away, don’t stop taking the medication, but consult your doctor first, to ensure your safety.

Call your doctor immediately if you experience any of the following overdose symptoms: rapid heartbeats, agitation, strange tongue and facial movements, and loss of consciousness. Finally, try not to miss a dose and if you do, take it the soonest possible as long as the next dose you have scheduled is not near.
