Is 3mg of invega sustenna (paliperidone palmitate) a low dose?
6 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Look this up using: the FDA approved "Prescribing Information" summary: http://www.janssencns.com/shared/product/invegasustenna/prescribing-information.pdf. The PI is the minimum information which the FDA thinks any physician should have in order to decide if the product might be useful to prescribe for a patient. Yet, who has the most vested interest in this information? The person who is considering/taking it.
