What does it do?

Aripiprazole (unclassified) is a component belonging to the atypical antipsychotic class and is used as a psychotropic agent. It primarily aims to alleviate the symptoms of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.

This component partially acts on dopamine and serotonin receptors in the brain to regulate the balance of neurotransmitters. This reduces symptoms of psychosis such as hallucinations and delusions and stabilizes mood changes.
