Abstract
Discontinuation or poor adherence to antipsychotics in patients with schizophrenia may lead to relapses. Compared with daily administered antipsychotics (e.g., paliperidone extended-release (ER)), long-acting injectable antipsychotics (LAI) can improve medication adherence, resulting in a lower risk of relapse. Paliperidone palmitate, a new form of LAI, can be administered monthly (PP1M), three monthly (PP3M), or six-monthly (PP6M). While proven effective in improving compliance, the economic value of administering this high-cost treatment is unknown.
