About Paliris LA 100 mg Injection 1 ml

Paliris LA 100 mg Injection 1 ml belongs to a group of medicines called 'antipsychotics' used for the treatment of schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder in adults as monotherapy and as an adjunct to mood stabilizers or antidepressants. Schizophrenia is a mental condition in which the person may feel, hear or see things that are not there, believe things that are not true, or feel unusually suspicious or confused.

Paliris LA 100 mg Injection 1 ml contains 'Paliperidone' that works by blocking the effects of chemical messengers in the brain (i.e., dopamine and serotonin), thereby helping improve mood, behaviour and thoughts. Paliris LA 100 mg Injection 1 ml elevates the symptoms of the disease and prevents them from recurring.

Paliris LA 100 mg Injection 1 ml is for intramuscular injection only. It should be given by experienced healthcare professionals. In some cases, you may experience common side effects such as injection site reactions, sleepiness or drowsiness, feeling restlessness or needing to be constantly moving, dizziness, abnormal muscle movements including tremor (shaking), uncontrolled involuntary movements, shuffling and abnormal movements of your eyes. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Paliris LA 100 mg Injection 1 ml is restricted to use in people who are sensitive to paliperidone, risperidone, or any excipients in the formulation. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and medicines to rule out any side effects. Before using Paliris LA 100 mg Injection 1 ml, inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. Paliris LA 100 mg Injection 1 ml is recommended not to use in children. Avoid consuming alcohol with Paliris LA 100 mg Injection 1 ml as it could lead to increased drowsiness and dizziness.
