Cariquel (Cariprazine) is a second-generation antipsychotic that targets multiple neurotransmitter pathways to rebalance dopamine and serotonin signaling. It is used in complex mental health conditions like schizophrenia and bipolar disorder to improve thought processes, mood, and behavior. Its pharmacological action as a partial agonist allows it to modulate receptor activity delicately, leading to improved clinical outcomes with fewer motor side effects than traditional antipsychotics.
