Aripiprazole Dosing Considerations

Contrast with Other Medications

• Medications like gabapentin and pregabalin, which are calcium channel α-δ ligands, require dose reductions in impaired renal function 1
• Medications like chlorpromazine require cautious use and potential dose adjustments in patients with renal impairment, and common adverse effects to monitor include gastrointestinal effects, headache, and potential psychiatric symptoms 2

Adverse Effects Monitoring

• Monitoring for adverse effects such as gastrointestinal effects, headache, and potential psychiatric symptoms is recommended, particularly in elderly patients who may have age-related decreases in renal function 2
