INVEGA SUSTENNA PALIPERIDONE 100MG/ML INJECTION – 1

Invega Sustenna (paliperidone palmitate) is an antipsychotic medication primarily used for the treatment of schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder in adults. It is administered as a long-acting injectable formulation, allowing for once-monthly dosing, which enhances adherence to treatment.

The drug works by modulating the effects of neurotransmitters in the brain, particularly dopamine and serotonin, which are believed to play a key role in the symptoms of psychotic disorders.

Invega Sustenna is beneficial for patients who may struggle with daily oral medication regimens, providing a stable release of medication over time. It helps to reduce the risk of relapse and manage symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions, and disorganized thinking. Additionally, it may be used in some cases for the maintenance treatment of bipolar disorder. Regular monitoring for side effects is essential during treatment.
