SYCREST, known generically as asenapine, is a medication primarily used in the treatment of certain mental/mood disorders, including schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. It belongs to a class of drugs known as atypical antipsychotics. SYCREST works by helping to restore the balance of neurotransmitters in the brain, which can improve symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions, mood swings, and agitation. It is typically administered sublingually, meaning it is placed under the tongue to dissolve, which allows for rapid absorption into the bloodstream. As with any medication, it is important to use SYCREST under the guidance of a healthcare professional, as it can have side effects and may not be suitable for everyone.
