OKEDI®

risperidon, powder and solvent for prolonged-release suspension 
for injection

Recent introduction

Until recently, there was no distributor in the Netherlands, which mean that OKEDI® was only available to a limited extent through parallel imports, resulting in insufficient availability. The manufacturer has now appointed Fagron as its distributor. The product is sufficiently available and can only be ordered directly from Fagron by (hospital) pharmacies and not from regular wholesalers.

See the SmPC and patient information leaflet on the EMA website for more information about this product.

Instructional video for healthcare professionals

The instruction video is in English. Would you like Dutch subtitles? 
Click the ‘CC’ button at the bottom of the video to enable subtitles. 
Then go to the settings icon (⚙️), select ‘Subtitles’, choose ‘Auto translate’, and select ‘Dutch’.

Following a report that the two syringes came loose during preparation of OKEDI, we would like to emphasise how important it is to screw both syringes tightly together until a slight resistance is felt. When used correctly, the reconstitution can be carried out safely and according to the instructions.
