What is Invega?

Invega is a prescription medication used to treat schizophrenia in adults and adolescents aged 12 to 17 and schizophrenia disorder in adults. The medication comes as Invega Sustenna, a suspension solution that can be injected, or as tablets that can be swallowed. Invega helps ease the symptoms of schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder and can prevent symptoms recurring. It works by altering the effect of dopamine and serotonin on your brain. 

Schizophrenia is a mental disorder that causes you to have periods of psychosis (a loss of contact with reality). During these periods, you may find it difficult to distinguish between what is and what isn’t real. You may experience hallucinations, including hearing voices. You could experience delusions (beliefs and ideas that aren’t real) and you may have generally confused thinking. There is also a chance that you may experience other symptoms during psychotic episodes, like a loss of motivation, social isolation, a lack of emotion, suspicion, and paranoia, and disorganized speech and behavior. Psychotic episodes will be different for different people with schizophrenia.

Schizoaffective disorder is a mental disorder similar to schizophrenia. You may experience periods of psychosis, and other schizophrenia symptoms described above, but these are accompanied by mood disorder symptoms too, like depression or bipolar disorder. With depression, you may feel sad, lethargic, lose interest in daily activities, and have thoughts of suicide. With bipolar disorder, you can have periods of depressed mood, but also periods of heightened mood. During these, you may experience euphoria, feelings of being high, sleeplessness, talkativeness, and high energy levels. Both schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder are thought to be caused by a mixture of genetics, your lifestyle, and what happens to you throughout your life. 

Invega active ingredients

The active ingredient in Invega is called paliperidone. It works by reducing your sensitivity to dopamine and serotonin. When you take Invega, paliperidone is absorbed into your blood and transported to your brain. It then binds with areas on the outside of your brain cells called dopamine and serotonin receptors.

Dopamine and serotonin are chemicals that influence and regulate your brain activity. By binding with dopamine and serotonin receptors, paliperidone reduces the effect of dopamine and serotonin on your brain, reducing stimulation. This has been shown to ease the symptoms of schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder and to help stop periods of psychosis and mood change from happening.

Invega side effects & Invega drug interactions
