Aridix 15 Tablet is an antipsychotic medicine used to treat mood disorders like schizophrenia, irritability linked with autism, and Tourette's syndrome. Besides this, Aridix 15 Tablet also helps in managing mental depression along with other antidepressant medicines. Schizophrenia affects the ability of a person to feel, think and behave clearly. Tourette's syndrome is a mental disorder characterised by uncontrollable, repetitive movements or unwanted sounds (tics). Psychosis may be caused by disturbances in chemical messenger activity known as neurotransmitters (like dopamine and serotonin) in the brain.

Aridix 15 Tablet contains Aripiprazole, which stabilises and blocks the dopamine and serotonin receptors in the brain, preventing their overactivity, thereby controlling the symptoms like hallucinations, misbeliefs, and unfriendly characteristics of schizophrenia. Aridix 15 Tablet improves the activity of dopamine and serotonin receptors in other areas of the brain. It helps control negative symptoms (like lack of emotion, social isolation, poor attention, and memory loss) of schizophrenia. Thus, Aridix 15 Tablet improves mood swings, depression, and other psychotic problems.
