What Paliperidone Krka is and what it is used for<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Paliperidone Krka contains the active substance paliperidone which belongs to the group of antipsychotic drugs ( neuroleptics ).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paliperidone Krka is used to treat schizophrenia in adults and adolescents 15 years of age and older.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Schizophrenia is a disease with symptoms in the form of hearing, seeing, or perceiving things that do not exist, having delusions, being overly suspicious, becoming withdrawn, speaking incoherently, and having behavioral and emotional impoverishment.\u00a0People with this disease may also feel depressed, anxious, guilt-ridden, or tense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paliperidone Krka is also used to treat the schizoaffective disorder in adults.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A schizoaffective syndrome is a psychiatric condition in which the sufferer experiences a combination of different schizophrenia symptoms (such as those listed above) and in addition symptoms of mood disorders (feels a great deal of happiness, feels sad, upset, confused, suffers from insomnia, unusual talk, loses interest for everyday activities, sleeps too much or too little, eats too much or too little and has recurring thoughts of suicide).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paliperidone Krka can help relieve the symptoms of your illness and prevent your symptoms from coming back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paliperidone contained in Paliperidone Krka may also be approved for the treatment of other conditions not mentioned in this product information.\u00a0Ask your doctor, pharmacist, or other healthcare professionals if you have any further questions, and always follow their instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      If you have any of these conditions, talk to your doctor as he\/she may want to adjust your\u00a0dosage\u00a0or follow up with you for some time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      A dangerously low level of a certain type of white blood cell needed to fight\u00a0infection\u00a0in the blood has been rarely seen in patients taking paliperidone.\u00a0Your doctor may check your\u00a0white blood cell levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Paliperidone Krka may cause weight gain.\u00a0Significant weight gain can hurt your health.\u00a0Your doctor should check your body weight regularly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Because\u00a0diabetes\u00a0or worsening of existing\u00a0diabetes\u00a0has been seen in patients taking paliperidone, your doctor should check for signs of high blood sugar.\u00a0In patients with pre-existing\u00a0diabetes, blood sugar should be monitored regularly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      In cataract surgery (\u00a0cataract\u00a0) it may happen that the\u00a0pupil\u00a0(the black circle in the middle of the eye) does not increase in size as much as needed.\u00a0In addition, you can get reduced muscle tension in the\u00a0iris\u00a0(colored part of the eye) during the operation and it can lead to eye injuries.\u00a0If you have an eye operation planned, you must inform your ophthalmologist that you are using this medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Paliperidone Krka should not be used in children and adolescents under 18 years of age for the treatment of a schizoaffective disorder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
