Paliperidon Palmitat 3 Aylık Formülasyon Kullanan Hastaların İncelenmesi
Psikotik bozukluğu olan hastalarda oral antipsikotiklere uyum sorunları sık görülür. Uyum yönetimini desteklemek için uzun etkili enjekte edilebilir antipsikotiklerin kullanılması önerilmiştir. Bu çalışmada paliperidon palmitat 3 aylık formülasyon (PP3A) kullanan hastaların incelenmesi amaçlandı. Çalışmaya 21 hasta (8 kadın ve 13 erkek) dahil edildi. Ortalama yaş 40,90±10,98 yıl, hastalık başlangıç yaşı 18,47±3,64 yıl, paliperidon palmitat 1 aylık formülasyon kullanım süresi 12,38±14,68 ay, PP3A kullanım süresi 4,66±1,85 ay idi. Yirmi hasta şizofreni tanılıyken, bir erkek hasta şizoaffektif bozukluk tanılıydı. PP3A uzun süreli sürekli ilaç kullanımı ve takibi gerektirmediğinden uyum sorunu olan hastalarda kullanımı önemli faydalar sağlamaktadır.
Examination of Patients Using Paliperidone Palmitate 3-Month Formulation
Adherence problems to oral antipsychotics are common in patients with psychotic disorders. The use of long-acting injectable antipsychotics has been suggested to support adherence management. This study aimed to examine the patients who used paliperidone palmitate 3-month formulation (PP3M). Twenty-one patients (8 females and 13 males) were included in the study. The mean age was 40.90±10.98 years, the age of disorder onset was 18.47±3.64 years, the duration of paliperidone palmitate once-monthly formulation use was 12.38±14.68 months, the duration of PP3M use was 4.66±1.85 months. While 20 patients were diagnosed with schizophrenia, 1 male patient was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder. Since PP3M does not require long-term continuous drug use and follow-up, its use in patients with adherence problems provides significant benefits.
