Toxicity and clinical outcomes of paliperidone exposures reported to U.S. Poison Centers.
Paliperidone is an atypical antipsychotic that was approved in the U.S. in 2006, and is also available in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Europe, and Asia. Information regarding paliperidone overdoses is limited to case reports. Serious toxicity has yet to be reported. ⋯ The majority of patients experienced no or minor toxicity and were not admitted for medical care. Although a higher dose was associated with a more serious outcome in children less than 6 years, the data do not provide clear-cut triage guidelines.
