Is aristada an injection?

What form is Aristada (aripiprazole lauroxil)—is it an injection?

Yes. Aristada is given as an injection into the muscle (intramuscular, IM). It’s a long-acting (extended-release) formulation of aripiprazole lauroxil designed for monthly or less-frequent dosing, depending on the regimen.

Is Aristada a pill, infusion, or something else?

Aristada is not an oral tablet or capsule and it isn’t an IV infusion. Patients receive it as an IM shot.

Where is it injected and how is it administered?

Because Aristada is an IM long-acting injection, it must be administered by a healthcare professional using the appropriate injection technique for that long-acting product.
