▴ In four well controlled trials, once-daily administration of paliperidone ER 3-12mg over 6 weeks was more effective than placebo in reducing the positive and negative symptoms experienced by adult patients with schizophrenia, including elderly individuals aged ≥65 years.▴ Patients with schizophrenia treated with paliperidone ER achieved greater improvement in clinically relevant measures of personal and social functioning and disease severity than those who received placebo.▴ In another well controlled trial, paliperidone ER demonstrated superior efficacy to placebo in preventing the recurrence of schizophrenia symptoms. In patients who experienced a recurrence, time to recurrence was delayed with paliperidone ER compared with placebo administration.▴ Paliperidone ER 3-12 mg/day for 6 weeks was generally well tolerated by patients with schizophrenia in clinical trials.", pages = "417-425(9)", url = "http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/adis/cns/2007/00000021/00000005/art00005" }
