Used primarily in the treatment of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, this compound helps regulate mood, thinking, and behavior by modulating dopamine and serotonin receptors in the brain. It is administered sublingually, allowing for rapid absorption into the bloodstream, which enhances its therapeutic effect. Its fast onset and efficacy in managing both manic and depressive episodes make it a valuable option in long-term psychiatric care. It may also be used off-label for adjunctive treatment in major depressive disorder. Due to its pharmacological profile, it contributes to improved patient compliance with minimal dosing frequency and reduced risk of certain side effects compared to older antipsychotics.
