• Description: Currently, there are three second-generation long-acting injectable antipsychotics on the market at our disposal - risperidone, olanzapine, and paliperidone; a fourth, aripiprazole, may also soon be available. These modern second-generation antipsychotics, including their depot forms, could be regarded as relatively safe though rare, but more serious complications may appear.
