Cariprazine is a dopamine D3 and D2 receptor partial agonist, with a preference for the D3 receptor. Furthermore, although to a more limited extent, cariprazine also exhibits partial agonism at the level of 5-HT1A receptors, thus exerting an antidepressant effect in addition to the antipsychotic effect. The most commonly encountered adverse events are extrapyramidal symptoms and akathisia. Short-term weight gain appears infrequently. Cariprazine is not associated with any clinically meaningful alterations in metabolic variables, prolactin, or ECG QT interval. Cariprazine is also approved for the acute treatment of manic or mixed episodes associated with bipolar I disorder. Clinical trials of cariprazine are ongoing in patients with acute bipolar I depression and as adjunctive treatment to antidepressant therapy in patients with major depressive disorder. In this article, we present some significant clinical cases regarding the use of cariprazine, with the hope that our experience can provide insight or suggestions to be used in clinical practice.Keywords: cariprazine, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, effectiveness, tolerability |
