About INVEGA SUSPENSION 100MG INJECTION

INVEGA SUSPENSION 100MG INJECTION belongs to a group of medicines called 'antipsychotics' used for the treatment of schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder in adults as monotherapy and as an adjunct to mood stabilizers or antidepressants. Schizophrenia is a mental condition in which the person may feel, hear or see things that are not there, believe things that are not true, or feel unusually suspicious or confused.

INVEGA SUSPENSION 100MG INJECTION contains 'Paliperidone' that works by blocking the effects of chemical messengers in the brain (i.e., dopamine and serotonin), thereby helping improve mood, behaviour and thoughts. INVEGA SUSPENSION 100MG INJECTION elevates the symptoms of the disease and prevents them from recurring.

INVEGA SUSPENSION 100MG INJECTION is for intramuscular injection only. It should be given by experienced healthcare professionals. In some cases, you may experience common side effects such as injection site reactions, sleepiness or drowsiness, feeling restlessness or needing to be constantly moving, dizziness, abnormal muscle movements including tremor (shaking), uncontrolled involuntary movements, shuffling and abnormal movements of your eyes. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

INVEGA SUSPENSION 100MG INJECTION is restricted to use in people who are sensitive to paliperidone, risperidone, or any excipients in the formulation. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and medicines to rule out any side effects.

Managing Medication-Triggered very low levels of granulocytes (while blood cells): A Step-by-Step Guide:
  • If you take medicine and develop symptoms such as fever, chills, or serious infections, seek immediate medical attention. This could indicate neutropenia, a disorder marked by extremely low quantities of granulocytes (white blood cells).
  • To address the adverse effect, your doctor may change your treatment plan, offer supportive therapy, or prescribe other medications. They will also conduct regular blood tests to check your white blood cell level and adjust your medication as necessary.
  • Follow your doctor's advice, including dietary recommendations and lifestyle changes, and take steps to prevent infections, such as washing your hands frequently, avoiding close contact with sick people, and avoiding crowded areas.
  • Monitor your condition closely and promptly report any changes, worsening symptoms, or concerns to your healthcare provider.
  • Discuss with your doctor if you suspect a medicine is causing hyperprolactinemia. Your doctor may reduce the dose or switch to an alternative medicine with low impact on prolactin levels.
  • Assess the severity of your symptoms related to high prolactin levels, like sexual dysfunction in men and menstrual irregularities in women for treatment choices.
  • Regular blood tests are recommended to monitor prolactin levels to assess treatment effectiveness.
  • Eat smaller meals and chew food thoroughly.
  • Try foods with softer textures.
  • If you have difficulty swallowing liquids, use thickener.
