Invega

$120.44$464.95

Invega utilizes the active compound paliperidone, a metabolite of risperidone. It works by targeting various receptors in the brain, including dopamine D2 and serotonin 5-HT2A receptors. This action helps stabilize mood and reduce psychotic symptoms.

 

Unlike standard antipsychotics, Invega is designed for once-daily administration, facilitating easier adherence to treatment regimens. Its extended-release formulation allows for the gradual release of medication, minimizing peak-related side effects and providing a more even therapeutic effect throughout the day.

As an atypical antipsychotic, Invega operates by balancing specific natural substances in the brain, such as dopamine and serotonin, to alleviate symptoms like hallucinations, delusions, and mood swings.
