ACUTE EXPOSURE INFORMATION

1. USES: Aripiprazole is an atypical antipsychotic agent used for the treatment of acute agitation in adults with schizophrenia or bipolar mania, for mood stabilization in patients with bipolar I disorder, as an adjunctive medication for depression, and for treatment of schizophrenia. In children, it as been used for treatment of aggression, conduct disorder, Tourette syndrome, bipolar I disorder, irritability associated with autistic disorder, and schizophrenia.

2. PHARMACOLOGY: Aripiprazole is a quinolinone antipsychotic that has moderate to high affinity to various dopaminergic and serotonin receptors as well as H1 and alpha-1 adrenergic receptors. It also has moderate affinity for the serotonin reuptake transporter and acts as a partial agonist at the D2 and 5-HT1a receptors and as an antagonist at the 5-HT2a receptor.

3. TOXICOLOGY: Aripiprazole exerts its toxicity through the above effects on the various receptors.

4. EPIDEMIOLOGY: Overdose is fairly common; severe toxicity is rare and fatalities have not been reported from overdose with aripiprazole alone.

5. WITH THERAPEUTIC USE
   1. COMMON: The most common adverse reactions include CNS symptoms (headache, agitation, insomnia, anxiety, extrapyramidal symptoms, akathisia, sedation) and gastrointestinal symptoms (weight gain, nausea, constipation, vomiting, dyspepsia).
