Adis summary of research: A 10-year observational study of the use, acceptability and effectiveness of long-acting paliperidone palmitate: implications for clinical decision making

Atypical long-acting injectable antipsychotics, such as paliperidone palmitate, play an important role in the management of psychotic disorders. They improve adherence, offer better tolerability and provide practical advantages in drug administration. This Adis Summary of Research reports long-term clinical outcomes, such as the treatment discontinuation rate, and the frequency and duration of hospital admissions, in a naturalistic cohort of adult patients treated with paliperidone palmitate once monthly.
