Vraylar

Vraylar is an FDA-approved medication used to treat certain mental health conditions. This prescription drug contains Cariprazines as its active drug that helps in relieving symptoms of bipolar I disorder, major depressive disorder, and schizophrenia. This medication comes in oral capsules that adults can use with a medical professional’s prescription. While considered effective, Vraylar for mental health care management can have serious side effects if the medication is not taken appropriately. Therefore, patients are advised to follow the instructions mentioned on their prescription label. Do not change any dosage range without asking your medical provider. If the condition worsens, immediately seek medical assistance. 

Product Overview

Vraylar is a prescription medication that is FDA-approved to treat schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. It contains Cariprazine, an atypical antipsychotic that helps stabilize mood and reduce symptoms of psychosis by acting on dopamine & serotonin receptors in the brain. 

Vraylar is available in oral capsule form, with strengths of 1.5, 3, 4.5, and 6 mg. It is typically taken once daily with or without food, as your medical practitioner prescribes. This medication is suitable for adults diagnosed with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. The active ingredient, cariprazine, works by regulating neurotransmitter activity in the brain, promoting mental stability, and reducing symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions, and mood swings.

While the medication effectively helps in treating mental health conditions, it can also have certain common side effects, which may include restlessness, extrapyramidal symptoms (such as tremors or stiffness), and weight gain. Moreover, patients should follow their healthcare provider’s instructions closely to avoid potential interactions with other medications or substances. If a person misses their dose of Vraylar, they should take it as soon as possible unless it is almost time for the next dose. However, if someone mistakenly takes an overdose, seek immediate medical attention. Vraylar should be stored at a specific room temperature, away from moist places and heat, and out of reach of children.

How Does Vraylar Work?

Vraylar is an atypical second-generation antipsychotic drug. While there are no exact details on how Vraylar works, it is thought that this medication rebalances certain chemicals in the brain called neurotransmitters. By adjusting the levels of these neurotransmitters, known as dopamine and serotonin, which are responsible for mood and behavior, Vraylar helps reduce symptoms like hallucinations, delusions, and mood swings in people with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. This process aids in improving the overall mental health and stability of the patients.

Important Safety Information for Using Vraylar

What Are the Side Effects of Vraylar?

Vraylar can cause certain common and serious side effects, which may temporarily impact the patient’s body and last from a few days to weeks. If any of the below side effects do not go away or cause serious complications, contact your physician as soon as possible. 

Common side effects of Vraylar: The side effects given below are usually temporary and commonly occurring. They resolve on their own within a couple of days or weeks without medical intervention. However, if they persist or become bothersome, get in touch with your physician or medical practitioner. Common side effects of Vraylar may include: 

• Involuntary muscle movements: These are also known as extrapyramidal symptoms, including tremors, muscle stiffness, and uncontrollable facial or body movements. Its signs may consist of:
  • Twitching
  • Jerking
  • Twisting movements of the head, neck, tongue, legs, or arms

Healthcare providers might adjust the dosage or prescribe medications like anticholinergics to manage these symptoms. Regular monitoring is crucial for early detection & intervention. 

• Difficulty while moving or slower movements: This medication can cause slowed movements and reduced spontaneity, likely linked to dopamine receptors that can impair motor function. To manage this side effect, you may require dosage adjustments and physical therapy to enhance mobility. You should report significant changes in movement to your healthcare provider.

• Muscle stiffness: This can manifest itself as rigidity, which occurs due to the medication’s impact on neurotransmitter pathways that control muscle tone. Patients can engage in stretching exercises and physical therapies. In some cases, additional medications to reduce stiffness may be required. 

• Headache: This is one of the most common side effects associated with the use of Vraylar. This is caused by the changes in neurotransmitter levels in the body caused by the medication. To manage headaches, you should stay adequately hydrated, maintain a regular sleep schedule, and use over-the-counter pain relief medicines. If the headache still persists or becomes worse, talk to your doctor or healthcare provider. 

• Dizziness: This can be due to Vraylar’s effect on blood pressure and central nervous system activity. This usually happens when patients are doing sudden movements, such as standing after sitting or lying for a long time. You should rise slowly from sitting or lying positions over prolonged periods to prevent dizziness. You should ensure you are adequately hydrated and avoid sudden movements to prevent dizziness. If you have severe or persistent dizziness, consult a licensed healthcare professional. 

• Extreme saliva: This medicine can cause increased saliva production, also known as hypersalivation, which may occur due to its impacts on the autonomic nervous system. You should chew sugar-free gum or use saliva-reducing agents to manage this symptom. Excess saliva production can affect the ability to speak or eat properly. If this becomes bothersome, you should seek medical advice. 

• Indigestion: Use of Vraylar can cause gastrointestinal discomfort, including digestion. To prevent this, you should take the medication with food, eat smaller meals, and avoid spicy or greasy foods. You can use over-the-counter antacids to provide relief. But if you experience persistent indigestion, seek medical consultation. 

• Constipation: Due to the anticholinergic properties of Vraylar, some patients may experience constipation while being treated with it. This medication can slow intestinal movement. To help prevent constipation, you should increase dietary fiber intake, stay adequately hydrated, and engage in regular exercise. If necessary, your doctor may recommend you to use a suitable laxative occasionally to avoid dependency. 

• Sudden weight gain: This medication can affect metabolism, causing individuals to eat more. This further leads to weight gain. To prevent weight gain, you should monitor your weight on a regular basis, follow a balanced diet & incorporate physical activity into your daily routines. If you notice significant sudden weight gain, you should discuss it with your doctor. They are most likely to adjust your dosage or suggest you use alternative treatment options. 

• Sleepiness: Sedation or sleepiness is more likely to occur during the initial days of starting treatment with Vraylar. Taking this medication at bedtime may help reduce daytime drowsiness. You should avoid driving, using heavy machinery, or engaging in other hazardous activities until you determine how Vraylar affects your alertness or vision. 

• Akathisia: This involves a feeling of inner restlessness and an urge to move, particularly in the legs, which is associated with Vraylar’s dopaminergic activity. To manage this, you may require Vraylar dosage adjustments or the addition of beta-blockers or benzodiazepines. Early reporting of symptoms to a healthcare provider is important for effective management. 
• Nausea & vomiting: This is a common gastrointestinal side effect associated with the use of Vraylar. This is more likely to occur during the initial days of treatment with this medication. To prevent and manage gastrointestinal discomfort, you should take the medication with food and stay hydrated. If nausea or vomiting persists, consulting a healthcare provider is best recommended. You can take over-the-counter antiemetic medications after discussing with your doctor or healthcare provider.

Serious side effects of Vraylar: While Vraylar for bipolar disorder treatment is an effective treatment option, it can have severe side effects, some of which require immediate medical attention. If you experience any of the side effects given below, you should call your doctor or healthcare provider. Your doctor has prescribed you this medicine after determining that the benefits of Vraylar justify its risks. Severe Vraylar side effects include: 

• Orthostatic hypotension (decline in blood pressure while standing up): The sudden drop in blood pressure can lead to signs such as:
  • Fainting
  • Dizziness
  • Lightheadedness when you stand up too quickly

Vraylar can interfere with the body’s ability to regulate blood pressure. The drug may affect the autonomic nervous system, leading to inadequate constriction of blood vessels upon standing, which results in decreased blood flow to the brain. To prevent and manage this side effect, you should stand up slowly, avoid sudden position changes, and stay well-hydrated. In severe cases, consult a healthcare professional. They may advise you to seek alternative treatment. 

• • Uncontrolled body temperature. Symptoms are:
    • Hot and dry skin
    • Reduced sweating
    • Heatstroke

• Low White Blood Cell Count (Leukopenia): This medication may reduce white blood cell count, making you more susceptible to infections and causing new or worsening infections. This is more likely to occur in individuals with a history of blood disorders or in those who are already taking medications that suppress the immune system. 

• Sore throat

• Fever

• Mouth ulcers

• Sore mouth and gums

Regular blood tests are important for patients on Vraylar to monitor white blood cell levels, and any signs of infection should be evaluated by a healthcare provider promptly.

• • Elevated Blood Glucose Levels: Vraylar can cause an increase in blood glucose levels, particularly in people with type 1 or 2 diabetes or those at risk of developing diabetes. Symptoms of elevated blood glucose include weakness, blurred vision, fruity-smelling breath, excessive thirst and hunger, and frequent urination. If not managed properly, high blood sugar can lead to more severe complications like diabetic ketoacidosis, a medical emergency. To manage this side effect, patients should have their blood glucose levels regularly monitored, particularly if they have a history of diabetes. You should manage your diet, exercise regularly, and adjust other diabetes medications. In some cases, discontinuing Vraylar may be advised if blood glucose levels become uncontrollable.

• High Cholesterol and Triglyceride Levels: Vraylar can increase levels of cholesterol & triglycerides in the bloodstream, which may raise the chance of developing cardiovascular conditions over time. High cholesterol and triglycerides are often silent and may not show symptoms, but they are major risk factors for heart disease and stroke. You should have regular lipid panel tests to monitor cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Lifestyle modifications like adopting a healthy and well-balanced diet, increasing physical activity & managing weight can help alleviate these side effects. In some cases, patients may need medication to control cholesterol levels if they become higher while receiving treatment with Vraylar.

• Seizures: This can occur due to the medication’s effect on brain chemistry, particularly the neurotransmitters dopamine and serotonin. Its signs are:

• Muscle spasms

• Falling

• Confusion

These severe symptoms require prompt medical attention & patients with a history of seizures or other neurological conditions should use Vraylar with caution. To manage this side effect, your doctor may alter the medication dosage or switch to a substitute antipsychotic medication. If you experience symptoms of a seizure, you should avoid engaging in activities that require full attention. 

• Allergic Reactions: This medication can cause severe allergies, including anaphylaxis, which can be severe (life-threatening) and include rash, itching, swelling of the face, throat, or tongue, and difficulty breathing. If you experience any of these symptoms, you should seek immediate emergency treatment. To reduce the chance of a hypersensitivity reaction, you should let your doctor or healthcare provider know if you have ever had a hypersensitivity reaction to Vraylar or any of its active or inactive ingredients. See medical attention if you notice any signs and symptoms of a hypersensitivity reaction. In severe cases, patients may need to discontinue the drug and seek alternative treatment. 

• • Tardive dyskinesia: A rare but possible severe side effect of this medication, tardive dyskinesia can cause unusual, uncontrolled movements, especially of the face, mouth, tongue, arms, or legs. If you have such symptoms, you should contact your healthcare provider or doctor immediately.

• Neuroleptic malignant syndrome: This serious condition requires immediate medical attention. If you have symptoms such as a high fever, muscle stiffness or pain, extreme tiredness, confusion, sweating, and an irregular heartbeat, immediately call your doctor or medical professional. In some cases, it may lead to dark urine or signs of kidney problems, such as a decrease in urine output. If you experience any of these signs, seek help right away.

• Hyperglycemia: T​​his medication can increase blood sugar levels, which may worsen or cause diabetes. If you experience symptoms of hyperglycemia (high blood sugar), such as increased thirst or urination, tell your doctor at once. If you have diabetes, it’s essential to monitor your blood sugar at regular intervals, as advised by your healthcare provider. Your doctor may need to adjust your diabetes medications, diet, or exercise routine based on these readings.

• • Dysphagia: Some patients may experience trouble swallowing, leading to aspiration, where food or liquid enters the windpipe. This can potentially cause choking or lung infections like aspiration pneumonia. To manage this side effect, you should seek medical help. Sitting upright and eating slowly can reduce risk, and immediate medical attention is crucial if aspiration occurs.

• Suicidal thoughts and behavior: This is especially noticeable in children, adolescents, and young adults under age 25 using Vraylar. These may arise due to the medication’s effect on brain chemistry, increasing the risk of depression and anxiety. You should carefully monitor yourself and your child for changes in mood or behavior, particularly during the initial weeks of treatment with the medication, and consult a healthcare provider if suicidal thoughts occur. 

[Note: Remember, this list may not cover all possible side effects. Always consult with your healthcare giver for medical advice about side effects.]

Are There Any Warnings for Vraylar? 

Vraylar may cause adverse reactions or is not an ideal medication for some patients if they have certain medical conditions that affect their health. If you have any of the following factors or conditions, talk to your healthcare provider about your medical history:
