Saphris (Asenapine) is utilized to treat certain mental/mood disorders, including schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. It is classified as an atypical antipsychotic and functions by helping to restore the balance of certain natural substances in the brain, known as neurotransmitters.

Saphris is indicated for the treatment of symptoms associated with conditions such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder in adults, as well as for bipolar disorder in younger patients, ages 10-17. It may aid in decreasing hallucinations, preventing mood swings, and promoting clearer thinking, reduced anxiety, and a more active role in everyday life.

Asenapine, the active ingredient in Saphris, works by helping to restore the balance of certain natural substances in the brain, specifically neurotransmitters. This mechanism is believed to contribute to symptom relief for the conditions it is commonly prescribed for.
