Saphris is usually taken twice daily. It should be administered sublingually, meaning it is placed under the tongue to dissolve. Do not eat or drink for 10 minutes after taking Saphris. Follow your doctor's instructions carefully and do not adjust your dose unless directed by your healthcare provider.
