What Is Paliperidone?

Paliperidone is an atypical antipsychotic medication. Many doctors often prescribe it to reduce the signs and symptoms of several mental illnesses, such as schizoaffective disorder or schizophrenia. It can be taken through a long-acting injection, which would be helpful in adherence and enable you to avoid daily pills. The drug would help patients think more clearly, behave more productively, as well as feel less nervous. For many people, paliperidone might cause some side effects in comparison with other antipsychotic medications. [1]
