Brief Summary  
It is an open label, multicenter, parallel group, multiple dose, steady state study. Paliperidone is a benzisoxazole derivative with potent antipsychotic properties, is indicated for the treatment of schizophrenia. The Sponsor has developed Paliperidone Palmitate extended release injectable suspension. This formulation being extended release formulation, it is expected to improve the compliance, which is very important considering schizophrenic population. This study is being conducted to characterize the pharmacokinetic profile and prove bioequivalence of the Sponsor’s formulation with respect to the reference formulation in Schizophrenic patients stabilized on Paliperidone Palmitate extended release injectable suspension, (156 mg/ml per month). As a high number of healthy subjects experienced serious adverse effects after administration of antipsychotics such as hypotension, tachycardia etc., hence, regulatory authorities are recommending that studies should be conducted on Schizophrenic patients. At the screening visit (within -2 weeks before the first dose visit), after giving informed consent, potential study participants will undergo screening examinations to assess eligibility for inclusion in the trial. The objective of the present study is to assess and compare the bioavailability and to characterize the pharmacokinetic profile of the Sponsor’s formulation (with respect to the reference formulation in schizophrenic patients and establish bioequivalence. Through this study, we will prospectively collect the data from adult schizophrenic patients who will be randomly assigned to receive either test product or reference product for the pharmacokinetic profiling.
