Breakthrough symptoms after switching long-acting injectable paliperidone palmitate from the gluteal to the deltoid site of administration.
TL;DR: A 34-year-old white man in whom schizophrenia was diagnosed at the age of 24 years was trialed over the course of illness on risperidone, olanzapine and aripiprazole, and agreed to try long-acting injectable paliperidone palmitate, finding the median maximum plasma concentration was found to be higher after deltoid injection than gluteal injection.
Journal ArticleDOI
