for whom tolerability and

4.2
POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
_ _
OKEDI should be administered every 28 days by intramuscular (IM)
injection.
OKEDI should be initiated according to the patient’s clinical
context:
_Patients with history of previous response to Risperidone who are
currently stabilised with oral _
_antipsychotics (mild to moderate psychotic symptoms) _
Patients stabilised with oral risperidone can be switched to OKEDI
without previous titration.
Patients stabilised on other oral antipsychotics (different from
risperidone) should be titrated with
oral risperidone before initiating treatment with OKEDI. The duration
of the titration period
should be sufficiently long (at least 6 days) to confirm the
tolerability and responsiveness to
risperidone.
_Patients never treated before with oral Risperidone _
Patients who are candidates to receive OKEDI and have NOT been
previously treated with
risperidone, the tolerability and responsiveness to risperidone must
be confirmed with a period
of oral risperidone t
