Description
Medication name: Rexulti 3 mg Tablets contain the active ingredient Brexpiprazole, an atypical antipsychotic used to treat schizophrenia and as an add-on therapy for major depressive disorder (MDD).
Each pack includes 28 film-coated tablets for oral use.
Use: This medication helps manage symptoms of schizophrenia such as hallucinations, disorganized thinking, and emotional withdrawal.
In depression, it enhances the effect of antidepressants, improving mood and daily functioning.
How it works: Brexpiprazole works by modulating dopamine and serotonin receptors (D₂, 5-HT₁A, and 5-HT₂A), helping restore chemical balance in the brain.
This improves mood stability, reduces psychotic symptoms, and enhances cognitive and emotional control.
Dosage and administration: It is taken once daily, with or without food, exactly as prescribed by the doctor.
The tablets should be swallowed whole with water and not chewed or crushed.
The dose may vary depending on individual response and medical condition.
Side effects: Common side effects include restlessness (akathisia), weight gain, dizziness, fatigue, headache, and sleep disturbances.
These effects are usually mild and may lessen with continued treatment.
Precautions: Rexulti should be used only under medical supervision and is not recommended for dementia-related psychosis in elderly patients.
Caution is advised in patients with heart disease, diabetes, or seizure disorders.
Avoid alcohol and sedatives, and do not discontinue the medication abruptly without medical advice.
Storage: Store at room temperature (20–25 °C), in a dry place, away from moisture and direct light, and keep out of the reach of children.
