Before people transition to Invega Trinza, they need to have been administered Invega Sustenna for at least 4 months and tolerated it well. For a seamless transition, it is recommended that the last two doses of Invega Sustenna are the same dosage strength before starting Invega Trinza. Start Invega Trinza up to 7 days before, on, or 7 days after the day the next 1-month Invega Sustenna dose was due. Your doctor will choose a starting dose of Invega Trinza that is 3.5-fold higher than the last Invega Sustenna dose, for example:

  • If the last dose of Invega Sustenna was 78 mg then Invega Trinza should be initiated at 273 mg
  • If the last dose of Invega Sustenna was 117 mg then Invega Trinza should be initiated at 410 mg
  • If the last dose of Invega Sustenna was 156 mg then Invega Trinza should be initiated at 546 mg
  • If the last dose of Invega Sustenna was 234 mg then Invega Trinza should be initiated at 819 mg.
