설명
Aripiprazole acts as a partial D2 agonist/antagonist and can oppose levodopa's dopaminergic therapy, worsening Parkinson's disease symptoms.
기전
Aripiprazole's partial D2 agonism results in net D2 receptor blockade in the context of high dopamine from levodopa therapy, impairing motor function.
임상적 중요성
Parkinson's patients treated with dopaminergic therapy can experience marked motor deterioration when any D2-acting antipsychotic is initiated.
관리 방법
Avoid aripiprazole in Parkinson's disease; use medications with minimal D2 blockade for psychosis treatment in these patients.
