Article Synopsis
- Aripiprazole, a medication approved for severe mental disorders, is often prescribed off-label to children and adolescents, yet there are no established therapeutic serum level reference ranges for this population.
- A study aimed to investigate the relationship between aripiprazole dosage and serum concentrations in youth, identifying factors like sex, age, and weight that might influence these levels.
- The findings suggested a strong correlation between daily dosage and serum concentration, leading to a preliminary reference range for treating pediatric patients, which indicated potentially better outcomes and fewer side effects when using interquartile ranges for dose determination.
