Nanoparticulate aripiprazole formulations

摘要

The present invention is directed to compositions and methods comprising nanoparticulate aripiprazole, or salts or derivatives thereof, having improved bioavailability, faster rates of absorption and a faster onset of therapeutic effect. The nanoparticulate aripiprazole compositions are proposed to have an average effective particle size of less than about 2000 nm, and may be useful for the treatment of diseases and disorders of the central nervous system, including mental diseases and disorders.
