Abstract
Paliperidone palmitate is a long-acting injectable formulation of the atypical antipsychotic paliperidone. The once-monthly injection is approved for acute and maintenance therapy of schizophrenia in adults. Extrapyramidal symptoms are a known adverse effect of antipsychotics; incidence rates of EPS with PP are up to 18%. Given its longer half-life and steady blood levels, PP-induced EPS can cause a sustained and serious functional impairment of several months’ duration, significantly impacting the quality of life.
