ILOPERIDONE vs REXULTI
Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Iloperidone is an atypical antipsychotic with high affinity for serotonin 5-HT2A and dopamine D2 receptors; also moderate affinity for D3, D4, 5-HT6, 5-HT7, and α1-adrenergic receptors; low affinity for H1, 5-HT1A, and α2-adrenergic receptors; no affinity for M1 muscarinic receptors.
Partial agonist at D2 and 5-HT1A receptors; antagonist at 5-HT2A and α1B/α2C adrenergic receptors.
1-2 mg orally twice daily; target dose 6-12 mg/day; maximum 12 mg/day
2 mg orally once daily initially; increase to 4 mg once daily no sooner than week 2; target dose 4 mg once daily; range 2-4 mg once daily.

Terminal elimination half-life 18 hours in extensive CYP2D6 metabolizers, 33 hours in poor metabolizers; clinical context: steady-state reached in ~5-7 days.
Clinical Note
moderateIloperidone + Levofloxacin
"Iloperidone may increase the QTc-prolonging activities of Levofloxacin."
Clinical Note
moderateIloperidone + Norfloxacin
"Iloperidone may increase the QTc-prolonging activities of Norfloxacin."
Clinical Note
moderateIloperidone + Gemifloxacin
"Iloperidone may increase the QTc-prolonging activities of Gemifloxacin."
Clinical Note
moderateIloperidone + Haloperidol
"The metabolism of Haloperidol can be decreased when combined with Iloperidone."
Terminal elimination half-life is approximately 19–23 days for brexpiprazole and its major metabolite DM-3411, requiring up to 2–3 months to reach steady state.
Primarily hepatic metabolism via CYP3A4 and CYP2D6; approximately 7% excreted unchanged in urine and 18% in feces; total renal elimination of metabolites ~25%, fecal ~60%.
Approximately 25% of the dose is excreted in urine as unchanged drug and metabolites; about 54% is excreted in feces. Renal excretion of unchanged drug is minor (<1%).
