madmax15 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 I was trying to find out people's experiences with the long acting injection of Zyprexa called Zyprexa Relprevv. The freaky thing is I can't find any drug reviews online and it was approved a few years ago?!? What gives? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanderk Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 It just isn't used all that much. Cost is a big issue. Not just for the medication itself, but for the required staffing that must be available. Because of the chance of "extreme sedation" after administration there has to be a medical professional on site for a minimum of two hours following the injection. This is not a 'get a shot and head home' medication. Efficacy doesn't seem significantly better than the other forms of Zyprexa. But there is the convenience of a long-acting depot med.

Southern Discomfort Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 I have to ask, why does it matter? No one reacts in the same way when taking drugs so what good is a review? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmax15 Posted June 21, 2016 Author Share Posted June 21, 2016 (edited) There's nothing on youtube either! It's been around since 2009. WTF... Edited June 21, 2016 by madmax15 forgot to mention in my OP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notfred Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 A search at google produces lots of hits. It is going to be a lot like Zyprexa as it essentially is Zyprexa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
