Paliperidone Depot (PAL ER) is a new second-generation antipsychotic with pharmacodynamics resembling those of risperidone. PAL ER is slowly and smoothly released in 24 hours. Its half-life is about 24 hours. PAL is primarily eliminated unchanged in urine. Three short-term studies and one relapse study found PAL ER to be significantly more effective than placebo in all doses (3-15 mg once a day). There are no head-to-head comparisons with other antipsychotics, including risperidone. On the existing evidence it is not possible to ascertain whether PAL ER is better than risperidone in terms of effects and tolerability.
