How is Abilify Maintena administered?

Abilify Maintena is administered as a once monthly injection, which is designed for long-term management of certain mental health disorders, primarily schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. This form of administration allows for a sustained release of the medication over an extended period, ensuring that patients receive a consistent dosage without the need for daily pills. The injectable form also helps enhance compliance, as it eliminates the need for daily dosing and reduces the risk of missed doses that can occur with oral medications.

Using this method, healthcare providers can effectively manage the treatment regimen for their patients, reducing the burden of administration and improving treatment adherence, which is critical for the overall effectiveness of the therapy.
