This medication is used to treat schizophrenia and helps alleviate agitation, aggression, or psychotic symptoms in patients with moderate to severe Alzheimer-type dementia for a short period (within 6 weeks). Additionally, it is utilized as an adjunct to mood stabilizers in the treatment of manic episodes in bipolar disorder and contributes to symptom improvement. Furthermore, it is effective in treating disruptive behaviors and other behavioral disorders in children, adolescents, and adults with intellectual disabilities or lower intellectual capabilities. It is a widely used medication for various mental and behavioral issues.
