Table of contents:

Rexulti (brexpiprazole) is a prescription medication used to treat schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and major depressive disorder (MDD). It is an atypical antipsychotic drug that works by changing the activity of certain natural substances in the brain. Rexulti is known for being effective in treating major depressive disorder and reducing symptoms associated with it. It can also help improve thinking, mood, and behavior, as well as reduce the risk of suicidal thoughts or attempts among those suffering from depression or other mental illnesses.

In the case of schizophrenia, Rexulti can be used as a monotherapy or in combination with other medications, and for MDD it is prescribed as an add-on treatment to an antidepressant to help build on any progress that has already been made. Rexulti is not approved for the treatment of people with dementia-related psychosis.
