Indications
schizophrenia, incl. in the exacerbation phase in adult
patients, prevention of exacerbations of schizophrenia in adults
treatment of schizophrenia in adolescents aged 12 to 17 years old
treatment of schizoaffective disorders: as monotherapy or as part of combination therapy with antidepressants and / or normotics in adult patients.
Contraindications
Contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to paliperidone, risperidone, as well as any auxiliary ingredient of the drug.
Caution: a history of seizures and medical conditions that lower the seizure threshold. Like other antipsychotics, paliperidone should be used with caution in patients with a history of seizures or other diseases that lower the threshold for seizure readiness.
Dysphagia and narrowing of the lumen of the gastrointestinal tract (the possibility of obstruction). Invega ® tablets do not deform and almost do not change their shape in the digestive tract, and therefore they should not be prescribed to patients with severe narrowing of the lumen of the gastrointestinal tract (pathological or iatrogenic), as well as patients who suffer from dysphagia or who have difficulty swallowing pills. There are rare reports of gastrointestinal obstruction symptoms associated with ingestion of non-deformable dosage forms with controlled release of the active substance. Paliperidone also belongs to such dosage forms, and therefore it can be prescribed only to those patients who can swallow tablets whole.
Elderly patients with dementia. The efficacy and safety of paliperidone was not evaluated in elderly patients with dementia. A meta-analysis of 17 placebo-controlled studies showed that elderly patients with dementia treated with atypical antipsychotic drugs such as risperidone, aripiprazole, olanzapine and quetiapine had a higher mortality rate compared with patients receiving placebo. Placebo-controlled studies, in which elderly patients with dementia participated, showed an increased frequency of cerebrovascular unwanted effects (strokes and transient ischemic attacks), including fatal in patients receiving some atypical antipsychotic drugs, including risperidone, aripiprazole and olanzapine, compared with patients who received placebo.
Parkinson’s disease and dementia with Levi bodies. Doctors should carefully consider the possible risks and potential benefits when prescribing antipsychotic drugs, including paliperidone, to patients suffering from Parkinson’s disease or dementia with Levy bodies, since such patients may have an increased risk of developing malignant antipsychotic syndrome (ANS) or increased sensitivity to antipsychotic drugs. Manifestations of this hypersensitivity include, in addition to extrapyramidal symptoms, confusion, dull reactions and postural hypotension with frequent falls.
Pregnancy and lactation
There is currently no data on the safety of paliperidone during pregnancy in women and its effect on fetal development. The drug should not be prescribed during pregnancy, except in cases of emergency from a clinical point of view. The effect of paliperidone on labor in women is not known.
The use of antipsychotic drugs in the third trimester of pregnancy was accompanied by reversible extrapyramidal symptoms in newborns.
Paliperidone is excreted in breast milk, therefore, the drug should not be prescribed during lactation.
Special instructions
Invega tablets are manufactured using the osmotic drug release technology, in which the osmotic pressure provides release of paliperidone at a controlled rate. The system, outwardly resembling a capsule-shaped tablet, consists of an osmotically active three-layer core surrounded by an intermediate shell and a semipermeable membrane. The three-layer core consists of two drug layers containing the drug substance and auxiliary substances, as well as an ejection layer containing osmotically active components. On the dome of the medicinal layers there are two outlets made with a laser. In the digestive tract, the color membrane dissolves quickly, the membrane is saturated with water. When water enters the tablet core, the hydrophilic polymers of the tablet core absorb water and swell, turning into a gel containing paliperidone, which is then pushed through the openings in the tablet. The tablet shell, as well as the insoluble components of the tablet core, are excreted from the body with stool. Patients should not worry if they notice something like a pill in the stool.
It is known that antipsychotic drugs, including paliperidone, can cause ZNS, which is characterized by hyperthermia, muscle stiffness, instability of the autonomic nervous system function, depression of consciousness, and an increase in serum creatine phosphokinase concentrations. Myoglobinuria (rhabdomyolysis) and acute renal failure may also occur in patients with ZNS. If the patient has objective or subjective symptoms of ZNS, all antipsychotic drugs, including paliperidone, must be immediately withdrawn.
Drugs with dopamine receptor antagonist properties can cause tardive dyskinesia, which is characterized by rhythmic involuntary movements, mainly of the tongue and / or facial muscles. If the patient has objective or subjective symptoms indicating tardive dyskinesia, consideration should be given to the abolition of all antipsychotic drugs, including paliperidone.
In clinical studies of paliperidone, unwanted effects associated with glucose metabolism have occasionally been observed. It is recommended to carry out appropriate monitoring in patients with diabetes mellitus, as well as in patients having risk factors for diabetes.
Paliperidone has alpha-blocker activity and may therefore cause orthostatic hypotension in some patients. Paliperidone should be used with caution in patients with cardiovascular diseases (e.g., heart failure, myocardial infarction or myocardial ischemia, cardiac muscle conduction disturbances), cerebrovascular diseases, as well as with conditions that contribute to hypotension (e.g., dehydration and hypovolemia).
Like other antipsychotics, paliperidone should be used with caution in patients with a history of seizures or other diseases that lower the seizure threshold.
Invega tablets do not deform and almost do not change their shape in the gastrointestinal tract, therefore, they should not be prescribed to patients with severe narrowing of the lumen of the gastrointestinal tract (pathological or iatrogenic), as well as to patients who suffer from dysphagia or who have difficulty swallowing tablets. There are rare reports of symptoms of gastrointestinal obstruction associated with ingestion of non-deformable dosage forms with controlled release of the active substance. Paliperidone also belongs to such dosage forms, and therefore it can be prescribed only to those patients who can swallow tablets whole.
Paliperidone has not been studied in elderly patients with dementia. However, placebo-controlled studies in which elderly patients with dementia participated showed an increased incidence of cerebrovascular adverse effects (strokes and transient ischemic attacks), including fatal in patients receiving some atypical antipsychotic medications, including risperidone, aripiprazole and olanzapine, compared with patients who received placebo.
The risk and potential benefit of antipsychotic medications, including paliperidone, should be carefully assessed for patients with Parkinson’s disease or dementia with Levi bodies, as these patients may have an increased risk of developing CNS or an increased sensitivity to antipsychotic medications, the manifestations of which include, in addition to extrapyramidal symptoms, confusion, dull reactions and postural hypotension with frequent falls.
Drugs that can block alpha-adrenergic effects can cause priapism. There have been no cases of priapism in clinical trials of paliperidone, however, paliperidone has the indicated pharmacological activity, so the risk of priapism cannot be completely excluded during treatment.
Antipsychotic drugs are credited with such an undesirable effect as a violation of the body’s ability to regulate temperature. Caution must be exercised when prescribing paliperidone to patients with conditions that may contribute to an increase in internal body temperature, which include intense physical activity, exposure to high external temperatures, simultaneous use of drugs with anticholinergic activity, or dehydration.
Preclinical studies have identified the antiemetic effect of paliperidone. This effect, if it occurs in humans, can mask the objective and subjective symptoms of an overdose of certain drugs, as well as diseases such as bowel obstruction, Reye syndrome, and brain tumors.
There are currently no systematically collected data on the transfer of patients from paliperidone to other antipsychotic drugs. The pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of different antipsychotic drugs are not the same, so doctors should carefully monitor the condition of patients when transferring them from one antipsychotic drug to another.
Paliperidone may impair the ability to perform activities that require a quick mental response, so patients should refrain from driving a car and operating machinery until their individual sensitivity to the drug is established.

Schizophrenia
Adults (over 18 years of age). The recommended dose in adults is 6 mg once a day, in the morning, regardless of food intake. A gradual increase in the initial dose is not required. In some patients, the therapeutic effect is caused by lower or higher doses within the recommended range of 3 12 mg once a day. There is a general tendency to enhance the effect when using large doses of the drug. If an increase in dose is necessary, it is recommended to increase the dose by 3 mg per day at intervals of more than 5 days.
Teenagers (12-17 years old). The recommended dose in adolescents is 3 mg once a day, in the morning, regardless of food intake. A gradual increase in the initial dose is not required. In some patients, the therapeutic effect is caused by higher doses within the recommended range of 6-12 mg once a day. A dose increase is possible only after clinical reevaluation, with a dose increase of 3 mg per day at intervals of more than 5 days.
Schizoaffective disorder
Adults (over 18 years of age). The recommended dose in adults is 6 mg once a day, in the morning. A gradual increase in the initial dose is not required. In some patients, lower or higher doses cause the therapeutic effect within the recommended range of 6 12 mg once daily. Increase the dose, if necessary, should be carried out only after assessing the clinical condition of the patient. If a dose increase is necessary, it is recommended to increase the dose by 3 mg / day at intervals of more than 4 days. Supportive therapy in patients with schizoaffective disorder has not been studied.
Patients with impaired liver function. In patients with a weak or moderate degree of impaired liver function, a dose reduction is not required. The use of Invega ® in patients with severely impaired liver function has not been studied.
Patients with impaired renal function. For patients with mild renal impairment (Cl creatinine? 50, but ® in patients with Cl creatinine
Elderly patients. For elderly patients with normal renal function (Cl creatinine? 80 ml / min), the same doses of the drug are recommended as for adult patients with normal kidney function. However, in elderly patients, renal function may be reduced, and in this case, the dose should be selected in accordance with the function of the kidneys in a particular patient (see “Patients with impaired renal function”). Caution should be exercised when using the drug in elderly patients with dementia due to the increased risk of stroke. The effectiveness and safety of Invega ® in patients over 65 years of age with schizoaffective disorders has not been studied.
Children and adolescents. The efficacy and safety of Invega ® for the treatment of schizophrenia in children under 12 years of age has not been studied. The efficacy and safety of Invega ® for the treatment of schizoaffective disorders in patients under 18 years of age has not been studied.
Special patient groups
It is not recommended to change the dose of paliperidone depending on gender, age and whether the patient smokes or not.
Transfer of patients for treatment with other antipsychotic drugs
There is currently no systematically collected data on the transfer of patients treated with paliperidone to treatment with other antipsychotic drugs. The pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of different antipsychotic drugs are not the same, and therefore doctors should carefully monitor the condition of patients when transferring them from one antipsychotic drug to another.

Drug Interactions
Paliperidone most likely does not enter into a clinically significant pharmacokinetic interaction with drugs that are metabolized by isoenzymes of the cytochrome P 450 system. In vitro studies using human liver microsomes have shown that paliperidone does not significantly inhibit the biotransformation of drugs metabolized by cytochrome P 450 isoenzymes, including CYP1A4, CYP2A6, CYP2C8 / 9/10, CYP2D6, CYP2E1, CYP3A4 and CYP3A5. Therefore, there is no reason to believe that paliperidone will inhibit does not enter into clinically significant pharmacokinetic interaction with drugs that are metabolized by isoenzymes of the cytochrome P 450 system.

Therefore, there is no reason to believe that paliperidone will inhibitto a clinically significant degree, clearance of drugs that are metabolized by these enzymes. In addition, paliperidone most likely does not induce enzymes. At therapeutic concentrations, paliperidone does not inhibit P-glycoprotein, and therefore is not able to inhibit, in a clinically significant degree, the transport of other P-glycoprotein preparations. Given the fact that paliperidone acts primarily on the central nervous system, it must be used with caution in combination with other centrally acting drugs and with ethanol. Paliperidone can neutralize the effects of levodopa and other dopamine agonists. Due to the ability of paliperidone to cause orthostatic hypotension, an additive effect may occur when using the drug simultaneously with other drugs that cause orthostatic hypotension.
Paliperidone is not a substrate of the isoenzymes CYP1A2, CYP2A6, CYP2C9, CYP2C19 and CYP3A5. This indicates a low probability of its interaction with inhibitors or inducers of these enzymes. In vitro studies have revealed minimal involvement of CYP2D6 and CYP3A4 isoenzymes in paliperidone metabolism, however, there is no evidence that these isoenzymes play a significant role in paliperidone metabolism in vitro or in vivo. Paliperidone, which is a cation at physiological pH values, is excreted mainly unchanged by the kidneys, while about half of the excretion is accounted for by filtration and about half by active secretion. The use of paliperidone simultaneously with trimethoprim, which is known to inhibit the active renal transport of cationic drugs, did not affect the pharmacokinetics of paliperidone. The simultaneous use of paliperidone and risperidone has not been the subject of scientific research. Paliperidone is an active metabolite of risperidone, and therefore, with the simultaneous use of paliperidone and risperidone, an increase in the concentration of paliperidone in blood plasma is possible.
overdose
Symptoms are enhanced pharmacological effects of the drug: drowsiness, sedation, tachycardia, arterial hypotension, QT prolongation, and extrapyramidal symptoms. In case of acute overdose it is necessary to consider the possibility of toxic effects of several drugs.
Treatment: In evaluating the necessary therapy and the efficacy of overdose suppression, it should be borne in mind that Invega is a sustained release drug. There is no specific antidote for paliperidone. Conventional support measures must be implemented. A good airway and adequate oxygenation and ventilation should be maintained and maintained. Cardiovascular monitoring (ECG monitoring to detect possible arrhythmias) should be organized immediately. Arterial hypotension and collaptoid conditions are stopped in / in the introduction of fluid and / or sympathomimetics. In certain situations, gastric lavage (after intubation if the patient is unconscious), administration of activated charcoal and laxatives are indicated. When severe extrapyramidal symptoms occur, anticholinergic drugs should be administered. Patient monitoring and monitoring of basic physiological functions should be continued until the effects of overdose are completely eliminated.
