Invega Drug Interactions

Cisapride, haloperidol, and amoxapine are some of the medications that can potentially interact with Invega. Drug interactions with Invega can increase the risk of a dangerous irregular heart rhythm called QT prolongation. To minimize the risk of developing serious Invega drug interactions, make sure to tell your healthcare provider (prior to taking Invega) about all other medications you are currently taking.
