Efficacy and Tolerability of Aripiprazole in a Nigerian Cohort with First-episode Psychosis: A Post-marketing Survey

Background: Individuals with first episode psychoses often discontinue pharmacotherapy due to poor symptom remission and/or intolerable side effects. Aripiprazole has been reported to show good efficacy with low side effect profiles in Caucasians. No studies have been conducted to assess its effectiveness and tolerability in a Nigerian population hence the need for this study.
