What is Saphris?

Saphris is an antipsychotic medication. It’s prescribed to treat moderate to severe manic episodes (mania) in adults who have schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. You take Saphris by placing a tablet under your tongue where it dissolves into your bloodstream.

Bipolar disorder, previously called manic depression, is a mental health condition. It causes both periods of depression and periods of elevated mood. If the elevated moods are severe, they’re called mania. Mania is a heightened physical and emotional state. People experience mania differently, you may have high energy levels, sleep less, have floods of ideas and speech, and engage in impulsive behaviors. You can feel euphoric, or alternatively you can feel irritable, which can lead to anxiety and violence.

Schizophrenia is a mental health condition where you experience episodes where it’s difficult to understand what’s real and what isn’t (psychosis). These episodes can cause delusions, hallucinations, disordered thinking, and also mania. 

Saphris helps to treat mania in people with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder by reducing the intensity of manic symptoms. It does this by inhibiting activity in certain areas of your brain, helping to normalize brain function.

Saphris active ingredients

The active ingredient in Saphris is asenapine. Once Saphris is in your bloodstream, asenapine passes through the blood-brain barrier into your brain. It then attaches itself to areas on your neurons called receptors.

Receptors help your neurons communicate with each other. Substances produced in your brain called neurotransmitters attach to the receptors causing them to send signals to other neurons. But asenapine stops this happening. When it binds to a receptor it blocks it, meaning it can’t be stimulated by neurotransmitters to send signals.

Blocking receptors reduces the number of signals sent through your brain. This helps to normalize brain activity, improving the symptoms of mania caused by schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.
