PARSIPPANY, N.J., and TEL AVIV, Israel, Sept. 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Teva Pharmaceuticals, a U.S. affiliate of Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (NYSE and TASE: TEVA), today announced the launch of LongActingImpact.com, a new educational website for healthcare providers (HCPs) with information to support informed treatment discussions and decision-making around the role of long-acting injectables (LAIs) in schizophrenia care. This bespoke resource is intended to equip clinicians with key information on LAI benefits and practical guidance for discussing LAIs with their patients.

The new resource provides HCPs with information focused on key topics, including:

• How LAIs reduce relapse risk and protect patient outcomes
• Strategies for ensuring consistent treatment delivery when patients struggle with adherence to daily medication
• How LAIs can support continuity of care, especially during the critical transition from inpatient to outpatient settings
• Step-by-step guidance for navigating patient conversations, from identifying life goals to building trust through open, ongoing dialogue
   

According to an analysis, 67% of patients taking oral medications for schizophrenia were nonadherent or stopped taking them altogether.1 Long-acting treatment options, like LAIs, may help people challenged with taking a daily medication. Despite this, LAIs remain underutilized due to perceived patient resistance and operational complexities.

“Long-acting injectables can help address one of the most persistent challenges in schizophrenia care – consistent medication adherence – but their potential cannot be fully realized if they are not considered as a treatment option. We've heard from physicians that systemic hurdles, along with the complexities of navigating treatment conversations, can create barriers to care,” said Verena Ramirez Campos, VP of U.S. Medical Affairs and Global Innovative Strategy at Teva. “LongActingImpact.com is our commitment to helping remove those barriers by empowering clinicians with the right resources to ensure that people living with schizophrenia have a better chance at a life free from relapse.”

An estimated 2.2 million people are currently diagnosed with schizophrenia in the U.S.2 Living with schizophrenia carries profound implications for a person's life and is linked to suboptimal long-term outcomes, with medication adherence to daily oral options frequently presenting as a major impediment to effective care.3

“Many patients don't hear about long-acting injectables until after they've experienced repeated relapses or hospitalizations, even though they have been part of schizophrenia care for years,” said Bryce Reynolds, MD at Carolina Outreach. “As clinicians, our role is to introduce these options earlier and use every available tool to integrate them into our practice and support more streamlined approaches to treatment.”

About Schizophrenia
Schizophrenia is a chronic, progressive and severely debilitating mental disorder that affects how one thinks, feels and acts.4 Patients experience an array of symptoms, which may include delusions, hallucinations, disorganized speech or behavior and impaired cognitive ability.4,5,6 Approximately 1% of the world's population will develop schizophrenia in their lifetime, and 2.2 million people in the U.S. are currently diagnosed with the condition.2,5,6 Although schizophrenia can occur at any age, the average age of onset tends to be in the late teens to the early 20s for men, and the late 20s to early 30s for women.4 The long-term course of schizophrenia is marked by episodes of partial or full remission broken by relapses that often occur in the context of psychiatric emergency and require hospitalization.6 Approximately 80% of patients experience multiple relapses over the first five years of treatment, and each relapse carries a biological risk of loss of function, treatment refractoriness, and changes in brain morphology.7,8,9 Patients are often unaware of their illness and its consequences, contributing to treatment nonadherence, high discontinuation rates, and ultimately, significant direct and indirect healthcare costs from subsequent relapses and hospitalizations.4,5,6,7,8,9
