Scientific Title Evaluation of efficacy and safety of long-acting Risperidone microspheres in patients with schizophrenia or other psychotic disorders when switching from typical antipsychotic (oral/depot) or atypical oral other than Risperidone


Brief Summary The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, tolerability and safety of patients on long-acting Risperidone microshpheres injection.

Non-compliance is very common among schizophrenic and is a frequent cause of relapse.
