WHAT INVEGA
SUSTENNA IS USED
FOR
INVEGA SUSTENNA belongs to a
group of medicines called
antipsychotic agents which improve
the symptoms of certain types of
mental illness.
It is used to treat symptoms of
schizophrenia, a mental illness with
disturbances in thinking, feelings and
behaviour. INVEGA SUSTENNA
helps to correct a chemical imbalance
in the brain associated with this
condition. It can also be used to
lessen the chance of your
schizophrenia symptoms from
coming back.
Some of the most common
symptoms of schizophrenia may
include:
•
Seeing, hearing, or sensing things
that are not there (hallucinations)
•
Believing that what other people
say is not true (delusions)
•
Not trusting others and feeling
very suspicious (paranoia)
•
Avoiding family and friends and
wanting to be alone
It may take some time before your
symptoms of schizophrenia start to
improve. Remember that INVEGA
SUSTENNA is one part of your
overall treatment plan. It is important
to keep all your appointments, so you
can get your treatments on time and
your doctor can check your progress.
Your doctor, however, may prescribe
this medicine for another use.
ASK YOUR DOCTOR IF YOU HAVE ANY
QUESTIONS ABOUT WHY IT HAS BEEN
PRESCRIBED TO YOU.
