Hi,

Abilify Injection is composed of 'Aripiprazole'. It is an atypical anti-psychotic medication and 'Abilify Maintena' is a long-acting formulation with 4 week dosing interval.

It is primarily used in the treatment of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. You need to consult your doctor before intake of any of such antipsychotic medications as your clinical status needs to be assessed before administering the appropriate dose. Hence, kindly consult your doctor for clinical evaluation and appropriate management.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ashakiran S, General & Family Physician
