Aristada Injectable Medication
ARISTADA IS AN INJECTABLE MEDICATION THAT IS USED FOR TREATING SCHIZOPHRENIA AND BIPOLAR DISORDER. IT IS AVAILABLE IN TWO FORMS: A PREFILLED SYRINGE AND AN AUTO INJECTOR DEVICE. THE MEDICATION IS IN POWDER FORM IN THE SYRINGE AND MUST BE MIXED WITH A STERILE LIQUID BEFORE ADMINISTRATION. ON THE OTHER HAND, THE AUTO-INJECTOR IS A PREFILLED SINGLE DOSE DEVICE THAT DOESN'T REQUIRE ANY MIXING. THE MEDICATION IS TYPICALLY ADMINISTERED INTO THE MUSCLE, USUALLY IN THE UPPER ARM OR THIGH. PROPER ADMINISTRATION SHOULD FOLLOW THE HEALTHCARE PROVIDER OR PHARMACISTS INSTRUCTIONS.
TO MAKE ARISTADA INJECTIONS MORE COMFORTABLE, A BATTERY OPERATED DEVICE CALLED NOODLE IS AVAILABLE. THE DEVICE FEATURES A DISPOSABLE SPONGE STICK THAT ROTATES AND TAPS THE SKIN, AND TWO ELECTRODES THAT APPLY TENS ELECTRICITY TO THE SKIN FOR 25 SECONDS. THIS PROCESS DISINFECTS AND NUMBS THE SKIN BEFORE THE INJECTION. AFTER USING NOODLE, THE INJECTION CAN BE DONE AS NORMAL. NOODLE IS SUITABLE FOR SELF-INJECTORS AND HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS, AND MORE INFORMATION CAN BE FOUND AT HTTPS://PAINLESS.WORLD
