Paliperidone is an antipsychotic medication used for the treatment of schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder. It belongs to the class of atypical antipsychotics and works by regulating the activity of neurotransmitters in the brain, such as dopamine and serotonin.

The medication is administered orally or as long-acting injectable formulations, as directed by your doctor. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and not to discontinue treatment without consulting your doctor.

Side effects may include drowsiness, dizziness, weight gain, gastrointestinal disturbances, or, in rare cases, neuroleptic malignant syndrome.

Patients should inform their doctor about any other medications being used or pre-existing conditions, such as cardiovascular diseases or diabetes, to ensure the safe use of paliperidone.
