Published September 24, 2021

Key Messages

  • CADTH recommends that Perseris should be reimbursed by public drug plans for the treatment of schizophrenia in adults if certain conditions are met.
  • Perseris should be covered by public drug plans in a similar manner to other long-acting injectable atypical antipsychotic drugs for the treatment of adults with schizophrenia.
  • Perseris should only be reimbursed if the total monthly dose is not more than 120 mg and is not used in combination with other long-acting injectable antipsychotic drugs. Perseris should not cost more than other long-acting injectable (LAI) atypical antipsychotic drugs.
