Aripiprazole for the treatment of bipolar disorder: a review of current evidence

Abstract: aripiprazole has proven to be an effective medication for the acute treatment of manic and mixed episodes, as well as for the prophylactic-maintenance phase of bipolar disorder in patients recovering from a manic/mixed episode. Choosing the appropriate dosing and tapering strategy, addressing the side effects, controlling withdrawal symptoms from previous medications and using adjunctive medications when necessary are key to successful treatment with aripiprazole.

“…This longer acting formulation has the natural attraction of single daily dosing with the likelihood of improved medication concordance, although there are cost implications associated with this newer drug. Aripiprazole, with the unique pharmacodynamic profile of a partial dopamine, 5HT 1A and 5HT 2A antagonist, has established roles in acute and maintenance treatment of manic states [Fagiolini et al 2011] and augmenting the treatment of unipolar depression [Marcus et al 2008]. However, it has shown a lack of efficacy in both acute management and maintenance treatment of bipolar depression [Fountoulakis et al 2010].…”

Se llama atípico por su menor propensión a causar efectos motores adversos que los neurolépticos típicos (haloperidol, clorpromazina, etc).…”

“…Las personas metabolizadoras lentas en estas enzimas pueden ser más susceptibles de presentar estos efectos secundarios, ya que dichas enzimas son además inhibidas por los antidepresivos serotoninérgicos 2 . Esta interacción favorece la aparición de efectos extrapiramidales, aún con el empleo de dosis bajas de los neurolépticos incluso atípicos, como el aripiprazole, considerado atípico justamente por esta propensión a originar menos efectos adversos motores 1,2 . Esta interacción se puede observar con todos los ISRS, incluyendo sertralina y citalopram y afecta a todos los neurolépticos típicos y atípi-cos 2,5 .…”
