Description
This activity focuses on the role of long-acting injectable (LAI) antipsychotics in the management of schizophrenia, with particular emphasis on real-world clinical experiences and outcomes from patients receiving LAI therapy. Through discussion of practical case examples, the session highlights the place of Paliperidone Palmitate long-acting injection (PPLAI) within current treatment algorithms, including appropriate patient selection, optimal timing, and evidence-based initiation strategies. The activity aims to support clinicians in improving adherence, symptom control, and long-term functional outcomes in patients with schizophrenia.
Objectives
By the end of this activity, participants will be able to:
Describe real-world clinical outcomes and practical considerations from patients treated with long-acting injectable antipsychotics.
Explain the role of Paliperidone Palmitate LAI within the schizophrenia treatment algorithm.
Identify appropriate patient selection criteria for initiation of PPLAI.
Determine optimal timing and evidence-based initiation strategies for PPLAI in routine clinical practice.
