Warnings
Black Box Warnings
Elderly patients with dementia-related psychosis treated with antipsychotic drugs are at increased risk of death; brexpiprazole is not approved for the treatment of patients with dementia-related psychosis
Antidepressants increase the risk of suicidal thoughts and behaviors in patients aged ≤24 yr; monitor for clinical worsening and emergence of suicidal thoughts and behaviors
Safety and effectiveness have not been established in pediatric patients
Contraindications
Hypersensitivity; reactions have included rash, facial swelling, urticaria, and angioedema
Cautions
Increased mortality in elderly patients with dementia-related psychosis (see Black Box Warnings); in placebo-controlled trials with risperidone, aripiprazole, and olanzapine in elderly patients with dementia, there was a higher incidence of cerebrovascular adverse reactions (cerebrovascular accidents and transient ischemic attacks), including fatalities, compared with placebo
Suicidal thoughts and behaviors reported in children, adolescents, and young adults who are taking antidepressant drugs (see Black Box Warnings)
Potentially fatal neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) reported in association with administration of antipsychotic drugs; if NMS is suspected, immediately discontinue therapy and provide intensive symptomatic treatment and monitoring
Potentially irreversible, involuntary, dyskinetic movements (ie, tardive dyskinesia) reported with antipsychotic drugs; incidence highest in elderly persons, especially elderly women
Atypical antipsychotic drugs have been associated with metabolic changes that include hyperglycemia/diabetes mellitus (including extreme cases associated with ketoacidosis or hyperosmolar coma or death), dyslipidemia, and body weight gain; assess fasting plasma glucose before or soon after initiation of antipsychotic medication, and monitor periodically during long-term treatment; before or soon after initiation of antipsychotic medications, obtain a fasting lipid profile at baseline and monitor periodically during treatment; monitor weight at baseline and frequently thereafter
May cause leukopenia, neutropenia, and agranulocytosis; monitor and discontinue if severe neutropenia (ANC <1000/mm³); in patients with a pre-existing low WBC or ANC or a history of drug-induced leukopenia or neutropenia, perform a complete blood count (CBC) frequently during the first few months of therapy
Orthostatic hypotension or syncope may occur (rare); generally, the risk is greatest during initial dose titration and when increasing the dose; orthostatic vital signs should be monitored in patients who are vulnerable to hypotension, (e.g., elderly patients, patients with dehydration, hypovolemia, concomitant treatment with antihypertensive medication, patients with known cardiovascular disease, and patients with cerebrovascular disease)
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
Caution with a history of seizures or with conditions/drugs that potentially lower the seizure threshold
Body temperature dysregulation: Disruption of the body’s ability to reduce core body temperature has been attributed to antipsychotic agents
Dysphagia: Esophageal dysmotility and aspiration pneumonia reported
Sedation and hypersomnia reported that may cause impaired judgement, thinking, or motor skills
Post-marketing case reports suggest that patients can experience intense urges, particularly for gambling, and inability to control urges; consider dose reduction or stopping medication if a patient develops such urges
Pregnancy

Adequate and well-controlled studies have not been conducted with brexpiprazole in pregnant women to inform drug-associated risks; however, neonates whose mothers are exposed to antipsychotic drugs, like brexpiprazole, during the third trimester are at risk for extrapyramidal and/or withdrawal symptoms (eg, agitation, hypertonia, hypotonia, tremor, somnolence, respiratory distress, and feeding disorder)
Animal reproduction studies
- No teratogenicity was observed with oral administration of brexpiprazole to pregnant rats and rabbits during organogenesis at doses up to 73 and 146 times, respectively, of maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) of 4 mg/day on a mg/m² basis
- However, when pregnant rats were administered brexpiprazole during the period of organogenesis through lactation, the number of perinatal deaths of pups was increased at 73 times the MRHD
Lactation
Unknown if distributed in human breast milk
Present in rat milk
The development and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for the drug and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from the drug or from the 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.Pharmacology

COMMON BRAND NAME(S): Rexulti
WARNING: 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.Brexpiprazole is used to treat certain mental/mood disorders (such as schizophrenia, depression). Drugs used to treat depression can help prevent suicidal thoughts/attempts and provide other important benefits. However, studies have shown that a small number of people (especially people younger than 25) who take antidepressants for any condition may experience worsening depression, other mental/mood symptoms, or suicidal thoughts/attempts. It is very important to talk with the doctor about the risks and benefits of drugs used to treat depression (especially for people younger than 25), even if treatment is not for a mental/mood condition.Tell the doctor right away if you notice worsening depression/other psychiatric conditions, unusual behavior changes (including possible suicidal thoughts/attempts), or other mental/mood changes (including new/worsening anxiety, panic attacks, trouble sleeping, irritability, hostile/angry feelings, impulsive actions, severe restlessness, very rapid speech). Be especially watchful for these symptoms when a new drug to treat depression is started or when the dose is changed.
USES: This medication is used to treat certain mental/mood disorders (such as schizophrenia, depression). Brexpiprazole helps you to think more clearly, feel less nervous, and take part in everyday life. It may also help to decrease hallucinations (hearing/seeing things that are not there). In addition, this medication may improve your mood, sleep, appetite, and energy level. Brexpiprazole is a psychiatric medication that belongs to the class of drugs called atypical antipsychotics. It works by helping to restore the balance of certain natural substances in the brain.
