Iloperidone, sold under the brand name Fanapt and Zomaril, is an atypical antipsychotic used to treat schizophrenia. It is taken by mouth. Effects can take two to three weeks to occur.

Common side effects include sleepiness, dizziness, dry mouth, low blood pressure with standing, and weight gain. Other side effects may include increased risk of death in older people with dementia, priapism, QT prolongation, neuroleptic malignant syndrome, tardive dyskinesia, milk production, and diabetes. It is believed to work by affecting dopamine and 5-hydroxytryptamine.

Iloperidone was approved for medical use in the United States in 2009. Approval was refused in Europe in 2017 due to modest benefit and concerns of side effects. In the United States, at a dose of 6 mg twice per day, a month of treatment costs about 2,100 USD as of 2021.
