WHAT TREVICTA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
TREVICTA contains the active substance paliperidone which belongs to
the class of antipsychotic
medicines and is used as a maintenance treatment for the symptoms of
schizophrenia in adult patients.
If you have responded well to treatment with paliperidone palmitate
injection given once a month,
your doctor may start treatment with TREVICTA.
Schizophrenia is a disease with “positive” and “negative”
symptoms. Positive means an excess of
symptoms that are not normally present. For example, a person with
schizophrenia may hear voices or
see things that are not there (called hallucinations), believe things
that are not true (called delusions),
or feel unusually suspicious of others. Negative means a lack of
behaviours or feelings that are
normally present. For example, a person with schizophrenia may appear
withdrawn and may not
respond at all emotionally or may have trouble speaking in a clear and
logical way. People with this
disease may also feel depressed, anxious, guilty, or tense.
TREVICTA can help alleviate the symptoms
