The agent that the nurse would anticipate that the physician would prescribe to the patient with schizophrenia who was having difficulty adhering to the medication regimen is aripiprazole.
Aripiprazole, sold under the brand name Abilify, is an atypical antipsychotic. This medication is recommended for and primarily used in the treatment of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Other uses include adjunctive therapy in depressive illness, tic disorders, and irritability associated with autism. In patients with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder, aripiprazole 10 or 15 mg once daily is effective and well tolerated. However, aripiprazole is not authorized for the treatment of major depression in children or teenagers.
