Abilify MyCite tablets contain a sensor that transmits information indicating if the tablet has been taken.

The oral tablet formulation Abilify MyCite (aripiprazole) is embedded with the ingestible Proteus sensor that allows patients, and, if given access, doctors and caregivers, to track ingestion of the Abilify medication on a smartphone or web-based portal. The system sends a message from the pill’s sensor to a wearable patch on the patient, which then transmits to the device.

Abilify MyCite is an atypical antipsychotic used for the treatment of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and depression in adults.

The specialty pharmacy will call to let you know if the kit is covered by your health insurance plan.

Once coverage is confirmed, the pharmacy will process your prescription. If, for some reason, your coverage is denied, the pharmacy will follow up with your doctor’s office and health insurance plan on the appropriate next steps.

Abilify MyCite will be mailed to your doctor for the first prescription, and subsequent refills can be shipped to your house. On your first visit, be sure to have your fully charged smartphone phone and your email address.

For further questions, call 844⁠-⁠MYCITE⁠-⁠4 (844⁠-⁠692⁠-⁠4834) from 8AM to 8 PM, M-F to speak to a representative.
