Paliperidone, sold under the trade name Invega among others, is an atypical antipsychotic. It is mainly used to treat schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder.
It is marketed by Janssen Pharmaceuticals. An extended release formulation is available that uses the OROS extended release system to allow for once-daily dosing. Paliperidone palmitate is a long-acting injectable formulation of paliperidone palmitoyl ester indicated for once-every 28 days injection after an initial titration period.
Usage médical
It is used for the treatment of schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder. [4]
Paliperidone palmitate long-acting injection compared to risperidone for schizophrenia[5]
When flexibly dosed every four weeks, paliperidone palmitate appears comparable in efficacy and tolerability to risperidone. In short-term studies, paliperidone palmitate – the longer-acting injection – has a similar adverse effect profile to related compounds such as risperidone by mouth. No difference was found in the high rate of reported adverse sexual outcomes and paliperidone palmitate is associated with an increase in serum prolactin.[5]
Outcome Findings in words Findings in numbers Quality of evidence
Adverse effects
Sources:[6][7][8][9][10]
Very Common (>10% incidence)
Headache
Tachycardia
Somnolence (causes less sedation than most atypical antipsychotics)[4]
Insomnie
Hyperprolactinaemia (seems to cause comparable prolactin elevation to its parent drug, risperidone)[4]
Sexual Dysfunction
Common (1–10% incidence)
Cough
Extrapyramidal side effects (EPSE; e.g. dystonia, akathisia, muscle rigidity, parkinsonism. It appears to produce similar EPSE to risperidone, asenapine and ziprasidone and more EPSE than olanzapine, clozapine, aripiprazole, quetiapine, amisulpride and sertindole)[4]
Orthostatic hypotension
Weight gain (tends to produce a moderate degree of weight gain, possibly related to its potent blockade of the 5-HT2C receptor)
QT interval prolongation (tends to produce less QT interval prolongation than most other atypical antipsychotics and approximately as much QT interval prolongation as aripiprazole and lurasidone)[4]
Nasopharynngite
Anxiety
Indigestion
Constipation
Arrêt
Le Formulaire national britannique recommande un retrait progressif lors de l'arrêt des antipsychotiques pour éviter le syndrome de retrait aigu ou une rechute rapide.[11] Les symptômes de sevrage comprennent généralement des nausées, vomissement, et perte d'appétit.[12] D'autres symptômes peuvent inclure l'agitation, Augmentation de la transpiration, et du mal à dormir.[12] Moins souvent, il peut y avoir un sentiment que le monde tourne, engourdissement, ou des douleurs musculaires.[12] Les symptômes se résolvent généralement après une courte période de temps.[12]
Il existe des preuves provisoires que l'arrêt des antipsychotiques peut entraîner une psychose.[13] Cela peut également entraîner une réapparition de la condition qui est traitée.[14] Une dyskinésie rarement tardive peut se produire lorsque le médicament est arrêté.[12]
Deaths
En avril 2014, it was reported that 21 Japanese people who had received shots of the long-acting injectable paliperidone to date had died, out of 10,700 individuals prescribed the drug.[15][16][17][18][19][20][21]

Paliperidone is the primary active metabolite of the older antipsychotic risperidone.[23] While its specific mechanism of action is unknown, it is believed paliperidone and risperidone act via similar, if not identical, pathways.[22] Its efficacy is believed to result from central dopaminergic and serotonergic antagonism. Food is known to increase the absorption of Invega type ER OROS prolonged-release tablets. Food increased exposure of paliperidone by up to 50-60%, cependant, half-life was not significantly affected. The effect was probably due to a delay in the transit of the ER OROS formulation in the upper part of the GI channel, resulting in increased absorption.[24]
The half-life is 23 hours.[24]
Risperidone and its metabolite paliperidone are reduced in efficacy by P-glycoprotein inducers such as St John’s wort[25][26]

Histoire
Paliperidone (as Invega) was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of schizophrenia in 2006. Paliperidone was approved by the FDA for the treatment of schizoaffective disorder in 2009. The long-acting injectable form of paliperidone, marketed as Invega Sustenna in U.S. and Xeplion in Europe, was approved by the FDA on July 31, 2009. It is the only available brand in Bangladesh under the brand name « Palimax ER » manufactured & marketed by ACI Pharmaceuticals.
It was initially approved in Europe in 2007 for schizophrenia, the extended release form and use for schizoaffective disorder were approved in Europe in 2010, and extension to use in adolescents older than 15 years old was approved in 2014.[37]
Brand names
On May 18, 2015, a new formulation of paliperidone palmitate was approved by the FDA under the brand name Invega Trinza.[38] A similar 3 -monthly injection of prolonged release suspension was approved in 2016 by the European Medicines Agency originally under the brand name Paliperidone Janssen, later renamed to Trevicta.[39]
