Aqueous suspension6
INVEGA HAFYERA is a highly concentrated product and requires specific steps to resuspend. Proper shaking can reduce the likelihood for an incomplete injection and storing the carton in a horizontal position improves the ability to resuspend this product. Shake the syringe containing INVEGA HAFYERA very fast for at least 15 seconds. Rest briefly, then shake again for another 15 seconds. To ensure complete resuspension, shake syringe with short, very fast up and down motion and with a loose wrist. A properly resuspended product will be uniform, thick, and milky white.6
Note: INVEGA HAFYERA requires longer and faster shaking than INVEGA SUSTENNA.6
If more than 5 minutes pass after initial shaking before injection, shake very fast again for at least 30 seconds to resuspend the medication.6
