More Images (7) ARIPIPRAZOLE (Abilify®) injection helps to treat sudden feelings of being restless and irritable (agitation) from conditions such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder (mania). This injection is given as needed in a hospital or clinic setting by a health care professional.
Your health care provider needs to know if you have any of these conditions:
•frequently drink alcohol or alcohol-containing beverages
•dementia
•diabetes
•difficulty swallowing
•heart disease
•history of brain tumor or head injury
•irregular heartbeat
•low blood pressure
•Parkinson's disease
•previous heart attack
•seizures (convulsions)
•an unusual reaction to aripiprazole, other medicines, foods, dyes, or preservatives
•pregnant or trying to get pregnant
•breast-feeding
Side effects that you should report to your prescriber or health care professional as soon as possible:
•allergic reaction (rash, itching, swelling of tongue or throat, or difficulty breathing)
•changes in vision
•confusion
•difficulty swallowing
•fainting spells
•inability to control muscle movements in the face, hands, arms, or legs
•irregular heartbeat
•loss of balance or difficulty walking
•restlessness or need to keep moving
•seizures
•swelling at injection site
•weakness
Side effects that usually do not require medical attention (report to your prescriber or health care professional if they continue or are bothersome):
•dizziness
•drowsiness
•dry mouth
•headache
•heartburn
•nausea, vomiting
•stinging or soreness at injection site
Visit your prescriber or health care professional for regular checks on your progress. If you are switched from the injection to the tablets for ongoing treatment, it may be several weeks before you see the full effects of aripiprazole. Notify your prescriber if your symptoms get worse, if you have new symptoms, or if you are having an unusual effect from aripiprazole.
You may get dizzy or drowsy. Do not do anything that needs mental alertness until you know how aripiprazole affects you. Do not stand or sit up quickly, especially if you are an older patient. This reduces the risk of dizzy or fainting spells.
Alcohol can increase dizziness and drowsiness with aripiprazole. Avoid alcoholic drinks.
Your mouth may get dry. Chewing sugarless gum or sucking hard candy, and drinking plenty of water will help. Be careful when brushing and flossing your teeth to avoid mouth infections or damage to your gums. See your dentist regularly.
Aripiprazole can reduce the response of your body to heat or cold. Try not to get overheated or dehydrated from exercise. Avoid temperature extremes, such as saunas, hot tubs, or very hot or cold baths or showers. Dress warmly in cold weather.
If you are going to have surgery tell your prescriber or health care professional that you are taking aripiprazole.

How should this medicine be used?
Take aripiprazole oral solution by mouth. Use a specially marked spoon or container to measure the dose. Ask your pharmacist if you do not have one; household spoons are not always accurate. Follow the directions on the prescription label. If aripiprazole upsets your stomach you can take it with food. Take your doses at regular intervals. Do not take your medicine more often than directed. Do not stop taking except on your prescriber's advice.
Contact your pediatrician or health care professional regarding the use of this medicine in children. Special care may be needed.
What if I miss a dose?
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you can. If it is almost time for your next dose, take only that dose. Do not take double or extra doses.
