What is Uzedy? 

Uzedy is a member of the atypical antipsychotics drug class, also known as second-generation antipsychotics. Atypical antipsychotics are less likely to cause side effects than typical antipsychotic drugs, or first-generation antipsychotics. Uzedy is approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat schizophrenia in adults. It is made by a pharmaceutical company called Teva Pharmaceuticals USA. Uzedy is an extended-release injectable suspension that contains the active ingredient risperidone. It is used in people who have already taken oral risperidone, but are switching to an injectable form. Uzedy is administered by a healthcare professional subcutaneously (under the skin) in the abdomen or upper arm—either once a month or once every two months.

When taking Uzedy, avoid alcohol. The combination could cause dangerous side effects. Do not drive until you know how this medication affects you. Because Uzedy can make you dizzy, possibly leading to falls, accidents, or injuries, avoid standing up too fast from a sitting or lying down position. 

Your healthcare professional will tell you how much liquid you should drink while you are on Uzedy. It is important to avoid becoming overheated or dehydrated while taking Uzedy.
