Switch medication from Zuclopenthixol_LA to Paliperidone_LA.[1] [2]

Nietinrijdenbord.png Stop Zuclopenthixol_LA
  • Day 1: Last depot injection
Eenrichtingbord.png Start Paliperidone_LA
  • Start depot according to general dosing advice on the day you normally would have injected the former depot.
  • Testing for acceptance and possible allergic reactions in a low dose can be carried out earlier.

Paliperidone palmitate is since spring 2011 approved by EMEA: therefore this switch is under construction.
