, even though that protection often comes at the expense of cognitive function. Which drugs offer the greatest benefit with the least cost is unclear.
These were followed by other LAIs, including paliperidone 1-month LAI. Hamina said he would like to know if the superior performance of 3-month formulation is due to better compliance, because of less frequent injections, or if it’s something to do with the drug itself. Compared with oral olanzapine, antipsychotic effectiveness was generally similar across these two sub-cohorts, but clozapine showed a significantly lower risk for relapse in the incident cohort.
This analysis included 68 randomized clinical trials lasting 3 or more weeks that compared antipsychotics, or antipsychotics with placebo, in 9526 people . The median study duration was 12 weeks. Studies on sertindole and paliperidone, which were more recent and covered more cognitive domains, found these two drugs had medium average effect sizes compared with placebo. Other research has linked these drugs to less sedation, which might explain their relatively favorable cognitive profile.
