2How Rexulti Works
Rexulti belongs to the class of atypical antipsychotics. It is still not fully known how the active ingredient brexpiprazole works to treat schizophrenia or depression in adults. However, scientists believe that the medication can bind to some receptors in the brain, which respond to neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin. Both components play a role in controlling overall moods. In people with schizophrenia and depression, the levels of dopamine and serotonin are unbalanced. By affecting the brain’s receptors, Rexulti may help balance these chemicals and improve the symptoms. [2]
