Switching Patients with Schizophrenia from Intramuscular Paliperidone Palmitate Once Monthly to TV-46000, a Long-Acting Subcutaneous Antipsychotic: Population Pharmacokinetic–Based Strategies

Switching to TV-46000 125 mg q1m 4 weeks after the last PP1m 234-mg injection yielded generally comparable pharmacokinetic parameters at steady state. The same was true for other TV-46000 q1m or q2m dosages and equivalent dosages of PP1m. Clinician discretion will ultimately determine how to switch on the basis of factors such as patient preference, convenience, and concerns about tolerability or symptom breakthrough.
