Abilify is the brand name of aripiprazole, an antipsychotic medication that alters the actions of the chemicals in your brain. It may be used to treat symptoms of disorders such as bipolar disorder (with manic depression) or schizophrenia. In conjunction with other prescription medications, Abilify may also be used as a treatment for adults with major depressive disorder. Abilify can also be used to treat some of the symptoms in Tourette’s syndrome or autism spectrum disorder symptoms in children over 6 years old.

Do not crush, break, or chew the tablets. If taking regular Abilify tablets, swallow them as you would any other pill. For the orally disintegrating type, allow the tablet to dissolve in your mouth. If preferred, you may wash the dissolved pill down with a liquid. You can take Abilify with food, or without food.
