How often do you apply an asenapine transdermal patch?
every 24 hours
T or F: Asenapine transdermal patches have a warning for QTc prolongation
True
When is it appropriate to reduce the dose of an asenapine transdermal patch?
If given with a UGT or strong 1A2 inhibitor (Fluvoxamine**)
what are the timelines for monitoring clozapine REMS
weekly x 6 months, biweekly x 6 months, then every 4 weeks.

what the fuck is samidorphan? **
opioid antagonist with preferential activity at the mu opioid receptor (is the mu important?)
