The invention relates to the discovery that pamoate salts of haloperidol and
aripiprazole result in a good to superior long acting and/or extended release profile.
Thus, in one aspect of the invention, the invention includes pamoate salts of haloperidol
or aripiprazole. Preferably, the pamoate salt is characterized by a ratio of haloperidol
to pamoate of 1:1 or 2:1. The pamoate salt can be crystalline, such as a needle
or a dense crystal, such as described in the Figures.
The invention further relates to methods of treating an individual in need thereof
comprising administering a pharmaceutical composition comprising a pamoate salt
of haloperidol and aripiprazole.
