In order to answer your question, it is necessary to consult a doctor who recommended the use of this drug in a 12-year-old child and mentioned the need to monitor the pulse. As an outsider, without more information, I am not able to give you adequate advice.
Aripiprazole, like other medicines, can cause side effects that may or may not occur. One of them, which occurs uncommonly, is a rapid heartbeat, i.e. an increased heart rate. It should be remembered that drugs with aripiprazole should be used with caution in people suffering from cardiovascular diseases, and the doctor should be informed about their occurrence in the child or in the family.
