            Dementia-related Psychosis

            • Not approved for dementia-related psychosis; patients with dementia-related psychosis who are treated with antipsychotic drugs are at increased risk of death, as shown in short-term controlled trials; deaths reported in trials appeared to be either cardiovascular (eg, heart failure, sudden death) or infectious (eg, pneumonia) in nature

            Suicidal thoughts and behaviors

            • Aripiprazole PO and Abilify injection only
            • Antidepressants increased risk of suicidal thinking and behavior in children, adolescents, and young adults (<24 years) taking antidepressants for major depressive disorders and other psychiatric illnesses, as shown in short-term studies; monitor for worsening and emergence of suicidal thoughts and behaviors

            Contraindications

            Hypersensitivity to aripiprazole

            Cautions

            Risk of extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS) (eg, pseudoparkinsonism, acute dystonic reactions, akathisia, and tardive dyskinesia; monitor

            Tardive dyskinesia may occur; may consider discontinuation of therapy if clinically indicated

            Use may be associated with neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS); monitor for mental status changes, fever, muscle rigidity and/or autonomic instability

            May cause somnolence, postural hypotension, motor and sensory instability, which may lead to falls and, consequently, fractures or other injuries; perform complete fall risk assessments when initiating antipsychotic treatment and recurrently for patients on long-term antipsychotic therapy

            Use caution in patients with known cardiovascular disease, cerebrovascular disease, or predisposition to hypotension; may increase incidence of cerebrovascular adverse reactions (eg, stroke, transient ischemic attack, including fatalities)

            Monitor heart rate and blood pressure and warn patients with known cardiovascular or cerebrovascular disease, and risk of dehydration or syncope

            Use caution in patients with Parkinson disease; may aggravate motor disturbances

            May increase risk of suicidal tendencies in children and adolescents (see Black Box Warnings)

            FDA warning regarding off-label use for dementia in elderly (see Black Box Warnings)

            Patients may act on dangerous impulses (eg, gambling)

            Monitor for orthostatic hypotension

            May cause seizures or convulsions; use cautiously in patients with history of seizures or with conditions that lower the seizure threshold

            May cause CNS depression, which may impair physical or mental abilities; use caution when operating heavy machinery

            Use caution in patients at risk of pneumonia; antipsychotic therapy has been associated with esophageal dysmotility and aspiration

            Impairment of core body temperature regulation possible; use caution in dehydration, heat exposure, strenuous exercise, and concomitant medication possessing anticholinergic effects

            Potential dosing and medication errors

            • Aristada and Aristada Initio
            • Medication errors (eg, substitution, dispensing errors) between Aristada and Aristada Initio may occur
            • Aristada Initio is intended only for single administration
            • Do not substitute Aristada Initio for Aristada because of differing pharmacokinetic profiles

            Leukopenia, neutropenia, and agranulocytosis

            • Leukopenia/neutropenia and agranulocytosis reported; possible risk factors for leukopenia/neutropenia include preexisting low white blood cell (WBC) count and history of drug-induced leukopenia/neutropenia
            • If patient has history of clinically significant low WBC count or drug-induced leukopenia/neutropenia, monitor complete blood count (CBC) frequently during first few months of therapy; discontinue drug at first sign of clinically significant WBC decline <1000/mcL in absence of other causative factors, and continue monitoring WBC count until recovery

            Metabolic changes

            • Atypical antipsychotics have been associated with metabolic changes that may increase cardiovascular or cerebrovascular risk, including dyslipidemia and body weight gain
            • Increased risk of hyperglycemia and diabetes; in some cases, hyperglycemia concomitant with use of atypical antipsychotics has been associated with ketoacidosis, hyperosmolar coma, or death; monitor patients for symptoms of hyperglycemia including polydipsia, polyuria, polyphagia, and weakness; monitor glucose regularly in patients with and at risk for diabetes
            • Significant weight gain reported with therapy; monitor waist circumference and BMI

            Drug interaction overview

            • See Dosage Modifications
            • Strong CYP3A4 and CYP2D6 inhibitors: Coadministration of oral aripiprazole with strong CYP3A4 or CYP2D6 inhibitors increased the exposure of aripiprazole compared to the use of oral aripiprazole alone
            • Strong CYP3A4 inducers: Coadministration of oral aripiprazole with strong CYP3A4 inducers decreased the exposure of aripiprazole compared to the use of oral aripiprazole alone
            • Antihypertensives: Due to its alpha adrenergic antagonism, aripiprazole may potentiate the effects of certain antihypertensive agents; avoid concomitant use with Aristada Initio
            • Benzodiazepines: Orthostatic hypotension and the intensity of sedation was greater with the combination of oral aripiprazole and lorazepam as compared to that observed with aripiprazole alone; avoid concomitant use with Aristada Initio

            Pregnancy & Lactation

            Pregnancy

            There is a pregnancy exposure registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in women exposed to ARISTADA during pregnancy; For more information, contact the National Pregnancy Registry for Atypical Antipsychotics at 1-866-961-2388 or visit http://womensmentalhealth.org/clinical-and-research-programs/pregnancyregistry/

            Neonates exposed to antipsychotic drugs during third trimester of pregnancy are at risk for extrapyramidal and/or withdrawal symptoms following delivery; limited published data on aripiprazole use in pregnant women are not sufficient to inform any drug-associated risks for birth defects or miscarriage; no teratogenicity observed in animal reproductive studies with intramuscular administration of drug

            Extrapyramidal and/or withdrawal symptoms, including agitation, hypertonia, hypotonia, tremor, somnolence, respiratory distress and feeding disorder reported in neonates exposed to antipsychotic drugs during the third trimester of pregnancy; symptoms have varied in severity; monitor neonates for extrapyramidal and/or withdrawal symptoms and manage symptoms appropriately; some neonates recover within hours or days without specific treatment; others required prolonged hospitalization

            Lactation

            Aripiprazole is present in human breast milk; there are reports of poor weight gain in breastfed infants exposed to aripiprazole and reports of inadequate milk supply in lactating women taking aripiprazole; development and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with mother’s clinical need for therapy and any potential adverse effects on breastfed infant from treatment or from underlying maternal condition

            Pregnancy Categories

            A: Generally acceptable. Controlled studies in pregnant women show no evidence of fetal risk.

            B: May be acceptable. Either animal studies show no risk but human studies not available or animal studies showed minor risks and human studies done and showed no risk.

            C: Use with caution if benefits outweigh risks. Animal studies show risk and human studies not available or neither animal nor human studies done.

            D: Use in LIFE-THREATENING emergencies when no safer drug available. Positive evidence of human fetal risk.

            X: Do not use in pregnancy. Risks involved outweigh potential benefits. Safer alternatives exist.

            NA: Information not available.

            ARIPIPRAZOLE - ORAL

            (AR-i-PIP-ra-zole)

            COMMON BRAND NAME(S): Abilify

            WARNING: If you are using aripiprazole in combination with other medication to treat depression, also carefully read the drug information for the other medication.There may be a slightly increased risk of serious, possibly fatal side effects (such as stroke, heart failure, fast/irregular heartbeat, pneumonia) when this medication is used by older adults with dementia. This medication is not approved for the treatment of dementia-related behavior problems. Discuss the risks and benefits of this medication, as well as other effective and possibly safer treatments for dementia-related behavior problems, with the doctor.

            USES: Aripiprazole is used to treat certain mental/mood disorders (such as bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, Tourette's syndrome, and irritability associated with autistic disorder). It may also be used in combination with other medication to treat depression. Aripiprazole is known as an antipsychotic drug (atypical type). It works by helping to restore the balance of certain natural chemicals in the brain (neurotransmitters).This medication can decrease hallucinations and improve your concentration. It helps you to think more clearly and positively about yourself, feel less nervous, and take a more active part in everyday life. Aripiprazole can treat severe mood swings and decrease how often mood swings occur.

            HOW TO USE: Read the Medication Guide and, if available, the Patient Information Leaflet provided by your pharmacist before you start taking aripiprazole and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist.Take this medication by mouth with or without food as directed by your doctor, usually once daily. The dosage is based on your medical condition, response to treatment, age, and other medications you may be taking. Be sure to tell your doctor and pharmacist about all the products you use (including prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and herbal products). To reduce your risk of side effects, your doctor may direct you to start this medication at a low dose and gradually increase your dose. Follow your doctor's instructions carefully.The manufacturer directs to swallow this medication whole. However, many similar drugs (immediate-release tablets) can be split/crushed. Follow your doctor's direction on how to take this medication.If you are using the liquid form of this medication, carefully measure the dose using a special measuring device/cup. Do not use a household spoon because you may not get the correct dose.Do not increase your dose or use this drug more often or for longer than prescribed. Your condition will not improve any faster, and your risk of side effects will increase.It may take several weeks before you get the full benefit of this drug. Use this medication regularly to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, take it at the same time each day.Keep taking this medication even if you feel well. Do not stop taking this medication without consulting your doctor. Some conditions may become worse when this drug is suddenly stopped. Your dose may need to be gradually decreased.Tell your doctor if your condition does not improve or if it worsens.

            SIDE EFFECTS: See also Warning section.Dizziness, lightheadedness, drowsiness, nausea, vomiting, tiredness, excess saliva/drooling, blurred vision, weight gain, constipation, headache, and trouble sleeping may occur. If any of these effects last or get worse, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly.Dizziness and lightheadedness can increase the risk of falling. Get up slowly when rising from a sitting or lying position.Remember that this medication has been prescribed because your doctor has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects.
