How to Administer an INVEGA TRINZA^®Injection

Preparing for Injection¹

Inadequate preparation could result in a clogged needle and potential incomplete administration of dose.¹

With the tip pointing up, shake syringe vigorously with a loose wrist for at least 15 seconds. Administer within 5 minutes of shaking.¹
When the mixture is appropriately homogenized, the suspension should appear uniform and milky white in color. It is also normal to see small air bubbles. Remember—the suspension can not be overmixed.¹
Whether administering in deltoid or gluteal muscle, you should alternate injections between each muscle. For instance, if you inject in deltoid, alternate between left and right deltoid.¹
