How to Find Uzedy in Stock Near You (Tools + Tips)

Uzedy (risperidone extended-release injectable suspension) is a life-changing medication for people living with schizophrenia or bipolar I disorder — but it's not always easy to find. Because Uzedy is a specialty injectable dispensed through a limited network of pharmacies and clinics, locating it can take real effort. This guide gives you specific, practical tools and steps to track down Uzedy in 2026.

Why Uzedy Isn't Available at Every Pharmacy

Uzedy is a brand-name specialty injectable with no generic equivalent. It must be administered by a healthcare professional, so it is not a medication patients take home from the pharmacy. Instead, it flows through specialty pharmacy channels — dispensed to clinics, community mental health centers, or specialty pharmacies that have the clinical infrastructure to support its administration.

For a deeper explanation of the underlying reasons, see our guide: Why Is Uzedy So Hard to Find? [Explained for 2026].

Step 1: Start With Teva Total Support™

The first call you should make is to Teva Total Support™ at 1-800-887-8100 (Monday–Friday, 9 AM–8 PM ET). This is Teva's dedicated patient support program for Uzedy. Their team can:

Help identify specialty pharmacies in your area that stock Uzedy

Confirm your insurance coverage and benefits

Enroll you in the Uzedy savings offer (eligible patients may pay as little as $0 per dose)

Connect you with a nurse for ongoing support

Step 2: Ask Your Prescriber About In-Clinic Administration

Many psychiatry offices, community mental health centers, and integrated health clinics receive Uzedy directly from specialty pharmacies and administer it on-site. This is actually the most common way patients receive Uzedy. If your prescriber's office doesn't already offer this service, ask whether they can arrange it through their specialty pharmacy partner.

Step 3: Call Specialty Pharmacies Directly

If your clinic doesn't have Uzedy in-house, call specialty pharmacies in your area. The major specialty pharmacy chains to try include:

Walgreens Specialty Pharmacy — 1-866-209-9001

CVS Specialty — 1-800-237-2767

Accredo (Express Scripts) — 1-800-803-2523

Optum Specialty Pharmacy — 1-855-427-4682

When calling, specify the exact strength of Uzedy you need (e.g., 75 mg or 100 mg) and whether it's for a once-monthly or once-every-2-month regimen.

Step 4: Use medfinder to Search for You

Making call after call to pharmacies is time-consuming and often discouraging. medfinder does this work for you. Here's how it works:

You tell medfinder your medication (Uzedy), dosage strength, and zip code.

medfinder calls pharmacies in your area to check which ones can fill your prescription.

You receive a text with the results — no hold music, no repeated phone calls.

Step 5: Check if a Different Clinic in Your Area Administers Uzedy

If your usual clinic can't source Uzedy, another clinic in your network or area may be able to administer it. Community mental health centers (CMHCs) and Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) often have relationships with specialty pharmacies and may be able to accommodate patients who need LAI antipsychotics.

What to Have Ready When You Call

To make the search process faster, have the following information ready:

The specific Uzedy dose you need (e.g., Uzedy 75 mg/0.21 mL once monthly)

Your prescriber's name and NPI number

Your insurance information (plan name, member ID)

The administration site where the injection will be given (clinic address)

Don't Give Up: Uzedy Is Available, Just Not Everywhere

Uzedy is on the market and being successfully prescribed to thousands of patients. The challenge is logistics — not availability in the absolute sense. With the right approach, most patients can find a path to getting Uzedy. For information on cost assistance, see our guide: How to Save Money on Uzedy in 2026.
