The SECUADO® (asenapine) transdermal system, the first and only FDA-approved transdermal patch
to help manage symptoms of schizophrenia
transdermal patch delivers medication
You may be familiar with patches used by people who are trying to quit smoking. The SECUADO patch is applied to the skin and delivers medicine continuously to help manage symptoms of schizophrenia.
In a medical study of more than 600 adults, SECUADO helped people living with schizophrenia manage their symptoms. At the end of this 6-week study, the symptoms of people using SECUADO improved significantly.
The active ingredient in SECUADO, asenapine, has been available in the United States for over 10 years.
Among the symptoms of schizophrenia are positive symptoms (such as hallucinations and delusions) and negative symptoms (such as lack of interest or motivation). In the SECUADO clinical study, the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale was used to measure treatment success.
