Saphris (active ingredient: asenapine) is a prescription medication indicated for the following:

  1. Schizophrenia: Saphris is used for the treatment of schizophrenia in adults and adolescents aged 13 to 17 years.
  2. Bipolar Disorder: It is also indicated for the treatment of acute manic or mixed episodes associated with bipolar I disorder in adults and adolescents aged 10 to 17 years.

Saphris belongs to a class of drugs known as atypical antipsychotics, which work by altering the effects of neurotransmitters in the brain, particularly serotonin and dopamine, to help stabilize mood and reduce psychotic symptoms.

Saphris is a sublingual tablet that should be taken as directed by your doctor, typically 2 times a day. To take the medication, gently remove it from the packaging with dry hands by peeling back the tab – do not push the tablet through the packaging. Place the tablet under your tongue and allow it to dissolve completely in your saliva. Do not chew, crush, split, or swallow the tablet whole, and do not eat or drink anything for 10 minutes after taking the medication.

Take Saphris regularly to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, take it at the same time each day. It may take several weeks before you experience the full benefit of this drug. Do not stop taking Saphris without consulting your doctor, even if you feel well. Increasing your dosage or taking the drug more often than prescribed will not improve your condition any faster and will increase your risk of side effects.

Asenapine (Saphris) is typically taken by placing the sublingual tablet under the tongue, twice daily. The usual dose for schizophrenia is 5 mg under the tongue twice daily, with a maximum dose of 10 mg twice daily. For bipolar disorder, the typical dose for adults is 5 mg to 10 mg under the tongue twice daily, with a maximum dose of 10 mg twice daily. The dose for children and teens aged 10 to 17 years is typically 2.5 mg to 10 mg under the tongue twice daily, with a maximum dose of 10 mg twice daily.

Your dosage will be based on your medical condition, response to treatment, and other medications you may be taking. Be sure to inform your doctor and pharmacist about all the products you use, including prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and herbal products.
