Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

Aripiprazole 1 mg/ml Oral Suspension is a compounded formulation designed for the treatment of various mental health disorders. It is primarily used in the management of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and major depressive disorder. Additionally, it may be utilized to alleviate irritability associated with autistic disorder. Aripiprazole functions as a partial agonist at dopamine D2 and serotonin 5-HT1A receptors, and as an antagonist at serotonin 5-HT2A receptors.

The medication is metabolized by CYP3A4 and CYP2D6 isoenzymes. It has been linked with QT prolongation, hence caution is advised in patients with a history of QT prolongation or other cardiac abnormalities. Aripiprazole has the potential to interact with other medications, including but not limited to anticonvulsants, antipsychotics, antiarrhythmics, and antifungals.

Patients should be closely monitored for signs of serotonin syndrome when taking aripiprazole in conjunction with other serotonergic agents. Aripiprazole may also interact with CYP3A4 inhibitors, such as ketoconazole, and CYP2D6 inhibitors, such as fluoxetine. Patients should be monitored for signs of increased sedation or other adverse effects when taking aripiprazole with these medications. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this medication, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
