Accepted Answer

Long time: It roughly takes 5-6 half lives for a drug to be out of your system. Using this, after your last dose, you could expect it to take 50 to 300 days.
Factors that affect your rate include age, health, weight, metabolism etc. Discuss w/ your Dr and be patient.

Question 10

my invega sustenna is due every month but i agreed to a lower dosage from 156mg to 117mg i last took it may 4th 2022 but the 117 isnt ready but the 156 is when should i take it and which one should i take?

Accepted Answer

: If you have been stable taking 156mg a month without serious problems and the decrease to 117mg is planned to fine-tune your dose then if they are unable to make the change this month, take your regular dose and make sure your doctor arranges the new dose for July. However, since 117mg is exactly 3/4ths (75%) of 156mg I would certainly ask why they couldn't discard 25% of the dose before injection
