Antipsychotic medications are indicated for the treatment of schizophrenia and other psychiatric disorders including bipolar disorder. However, oral antipsychotics are associated with a number of issues including poor treatment adherence. Long Acting Injectable (LAI) antipsychotics were designed to address these issues with oral antipsychotics. LAI antipsychotics offer several advantages including less frequent dose administration, better adherence and tolerability, and relapse prevention, which in turn help in improving patients’ quality of life. Recent development of atypical antipsychotics has the advantages over typical antipsychotics in terms of improved efficacy and tolerability. This review highlights the advantages and disadvantages of LAI antipsychotics, outlines the currently available LAIs and their indications, and real-world evidence for LAIs based on the observational st
