Aripiprazole is FDA approved for the acute and maintenance treatment of bipolar I disorder. Aripiprazole's efficacy during the long-term treatment of bipolar disorder is supported by extension of acute phase studies and long-term (ie, 100-week) double-blind placebo controlled recurrence prevention registration trials. Aripiprazole is not established as efficacious in the acute or maintenance treatment of bipolar depression. Moreover, aripiprazole's efficacy during the acute or maintenance phase of bipolar II disorder has not been sufficiently studied. Aripiprazole has a relatively lower hazard for metabolic disruption and change in body composition when compared to other atypical agents (eg, olanzapine, quetiapine). Moreover, aripiprazole has minimal propensity for sedation, somnolence and prolactin elevation. Aripiprazole is associated with extrapyramidal side effects, notably akathisia, which in most cases is not severe or treatment limiting. Future research vistas are to explore aripiprazole's efficacy in bipolar subgroups; recurrence prevention of bipolar depression; and in combination with other mood stabilizing agents.Keywords: aripiprazole, bipolar disorder, maintenance, pharmacologyMcIntyre RYoon JJerrell JMLiauw SSDove Medical PressarticleNeurosciences.
