Arip Mt 2 MG Description

Arip Mt contains Aripiprazole, an antipsychotic medicine. It is used to treat schizophrenia, a psychotic disorder in which people abnormally interpret reality, resulting in hallucinations, delusions,

and abnormalities in thinking and behaving. It can be used to treat mania, depression and bipolar disorder. One can have it before or after the meals as per your doctor's advice. A doctor decides the dose as per the severity of the disease. The dose may be increased depending on the control of symptoms. It takes some weeks for the effect to be seen. The medicine must not be skipped even if you feel better; otherwise, the condition is likely to worsen. In schizophrenia, this medicine improves thoughts, behaviour and the quality of life. It stabilises mood in bipolar disorder. This tablet comes in four forms, a regular tablet, an orally disintegrating tablet, a liquid suspension, and a tablet with a sensor (which records the times the medicine was taken).
