aripiprazole 

<6 years: Safety and efficacy not established
6 to 18years (<50 kg):
Start with 2 mg/day orally (PO), increasing to 5 mg/day after two days. If patients are not experiencing good suppression of tics at 5 mg/day, they may escalate to 10 mg/day. Dosage adjustments should be made progressively at no less than one-week intervals.
6 to 18years (>50 kg):
Take 2 mg orally daily for two days, 5 mg for five days, and 10 mg on day 8. The daily dosage can be increased to 20 mg for patients who do not attain optimal tic control. Dosage adjustments should be made progressively in 5 mg/day increments at no less than one-week intervals.



Dose Adjustments

Poor metabolizers and cytochrome-P 450 inhibitors
Poor metabolizers of CYP2D6: Administer half of the suggested dosage.
Known CYP2D6 poor metabolizers concurrently receiving potent CYP3A4 inhibitors: Administer one-fourth of the prescribed dose (i.e., a 75% reduction).
Potent inhibitors of CYP2D6 or CYP3A4: Administer half the suggested dose
Strong CYP2D6 AND CYP3A4 inhibitors: Administer a quarter of the recommended dose (or a 75% reduction in dosage).
Strong inducers of CYP3A4: double the recommended dose over 1 to 2 weeks.
