* Drugs are given IM with Z-track technique.

† Time until peak level after a single dose is listed.

‡ Olanzapine pamoate may cause rare but significant sedation, so patients must be observed for 3 hours after the injection.

§ Because of a 3-week lag time between first injection and achievement of adequate blood levels, patients should continue taking oral antipsychotics for 3 weeks after the first injection. Assessment of tolerability with oral risperidone is recommended before initiating IM therapy.
