• CNNMoney.com [Also in FoxBusiness.com; Medical News Today (UK); News-Medical.Net (Australia) PharmaLive.com (Pennsylvania); Earthtimes (UK); Omniomix (USA); Individual.com (USA)] — Study suggests Risperidone long-acting injection combined with standard treatment helped delay time to relapse in patients with bipolar disorder.
Patients with frequently relapsing bipolar disorder had a significant delay in the time to an initial relapse when risperidone long-acting injection (RLAI) was combined with standard treatment, according to a new study…"Patients with frequently relapsing bipolar disorder require more healthcare interventions than patients with fewer episodes, and there is a huge unmet need for new treatments," said Dr. Joseph Calabrese, Co-Director of the Bipolar Disorders Research Center, University Hospitals Case Medical Center, Case Western Reserve University. Dr. Calabrese is a consultant to the study sponsors, Ortho-McNeil Janssen Scientific Affairs, L.L.C. "Risperidone long-acting injection is administered once every two weeks by a healthcare professional and avoids the need for patients to remember to take daily antipsychotic medications."
