SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING

►ABILIFY is indicated for the use as an add-on treatment to antidepressants for Major Depressive Disorder in adults;
Treatment of manic and mixed episodes associated with Bipolar I Disorder in adults and in pediatric patients 10 to 17 years of age;

Treatment of Schizophrenia in adults and in adolescents 13 to 17 years of age.Elderly people with psychosis related to dementia (for example, an inability to perform daily activities as a result of increased memory loss), treated with antipsychotic medicines including ABILIFY, are at an increased risk of death compared to placebo. ABILIFY is not approved for the treatment of people with dementia-related psychosis.

►Antidepressants may increase suicidal thoughts or behaviors in some children, teenagers, and young adults, especially within the first few months of treatment or when the dose is changed. Depression and other serious mental illnesses are themselves associated with an increase in the risk of suicide. Patients on antidepressants and their families or caregivers should watch for new or worsening depression symptoms, unusual changes in behavior, or thoughts of suicide. Such symptoms should be reported to the patient’s healthcare professional right away, especially if they are severe or occur suddenly. ABILIFY is not approved for use in pediatric patients with depression.

►Before taking ABILIFY, tell your doctor:

• If you had or have swallowing problems (dysphagia)
• if you have a history of or are at risk for seizures
• are pregnant or intend to become pregnant
• about all prescription and non-prescription medicines you are taking or plan to take, since there are some risks for drug interactions.

►Decreases in white blood cells (infection fighting cells) have been reported in some patients taking antipsychotic agents, including ABILIFY. Patients with a history of a significant decrease in white blood cell (WBC) count or who have experienced a low WBC count due to drug therapy should have their blood tested and monitored during the first few months of therapy.
