Deltoid Injections of Risperidone Long-acting Injectable in Patients with Schizophrenia

[摘要] Risperidone long-acting injectable was previously approved for treatment of schizophrenia as biweekly injections in the gluteal muscle only. We present data on local injection-site tolerability and safety of risperidone long-acting injectable and comparability of systemic exposure of deltoid versus gluteal injections.
