How different or same is the risperdal consta than invega sustenna (paliperidone palmitate)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very close.: Similar side effects and the same mechanism of action (effect in the brain). Consta delivers risperidone over 2 wks-your body breaks risperidone into the active ingredient in invega, so if you're on risperdal, you're already getting invega. Sustenna injections don't have to be given as often. https://pro.psychcentral.com/long-acting-injectable-antipsychotics-a-primer/004332.html
