Paliperidone Palmitate is a long-acting intramuscular atypical antipsychotic drug indicated for the acute maintenance treatment of schizophrenia in adults. Its mechanism of action, like all other atypical agents, is attributed to the antagonism of brain dopamine D2 and serotonin 5-HT2A receptors.
Paliperidone, the active, 9-hydroxy metabolite of the atypical atipsychotic, risperidone, exhibits antagonism at both dopamine type 2 and serotonin 2A receptors. Being more hydrophilic than the parent, paliperidone has a different pharmacokinetic profile and is predominantly eliminated unchanged via the renal route.
Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them
