Mode of Action
How Does It Work?
Aripiren tablets contain Aripiprazole as their main ingredient. This medicine works by stimulating receptors, dopamine and serotonin, and increasing their activity. These are chemical messengers (neurotransmitters) present in the brain responsible for stabilising mood, agitation, and cognitive behaviour. By activating these receptors, the effect of these chemical messengers lasts longer. It helps improve the various symptoms of psychological and mental disorders like schizophrenia.
