Bilateral Pretibial Edema Associated with Paliperidone Palmitate Long-acting Injectable: A Case Report

Abstract: Peripheral edema is observed as an adverse effect of the usage of antipsychotics in the literature. This case report describes a 36-year-old female patient with the diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia who presented with pretibial edema following initiation of long-acting injectable paliperidone palmitate. Pretibial edema developed within the second week of treatment and completely disappeared after its discontinuation.

“…The blockage of α1 receptors results in vasodilation with a consequential increase in hydrostatic pressure in the capillaries that could facilitate the onset of oedema ( 69 ). Also, the antagonistic action on 5HT2 receptors could be associated to oedema due to the increase in cyclic adenosine monophosphate concentrations, leading to the relaxation of vascular smooth muscle ( 70 ).…”

“…The NADRPS score indicates a probable association between drug use and edema (4). Edema has been reported with several longacting injectable antipsychotics such as risperidone (6) and paliperidone palmitate (7). The mechanism by which ZDLI and antipsychotics could cause edema has not been fully elucidated.…”
