Paliperidone is an atypically-structured antipsychotic agent and the main pharmacologically active metabolite of Risperidone (commonly referred to as 9-hydroxyrisperidone).
The following mean plasma paliperidone concentrations have been reported:
3 mg single extended release oral dose: 4.9 ng/mL at 24 hours
6 mg single extended release oral dose: 10 ng/mL at 24 hours
12 mg single extended release oral dose: 20 ng/mL at 24 hours
3 mg extended release oral dose for 7 days: 11 ng/mL at 22 hours after last dose
78-156 mg IM once monthly for 6 months: 10-20 ng/mL (median trough concentration)
Acute ingestion of 180 and 504 mg extended release paliperidone resulted in serum concentrations of 170 and 883 ng/mL, respectively, approximately 40 hours after ingestion and the reported serum concentration following acute ingestion of 270 mg was 100 ng/mL 16 hours post-ingestion.
A femoral blood paliperidone concentration of 240 ng/mL was the only finding in an individual who died 2 weeks after a 525 depot IM injection.
The blood/plasma ratio of paliperidone is 0.7-0.8.
