Risperidone is an antipsychotic medication used to treat various mental/mood disorders such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and irritability associated with autistic disorder. It works by helping to restore the balance of certain natural substances in the brain.
How is this medication used?
Risperidone is taken by mouth, with or without food, usually once or twice daily or as directed by your doctor. Dosage is based on your medical condition, response to treatment, and other medications you may be taking.
What are the possible side effects?
Common side effects include dizziness, lethargy, weight gain, and gastrointestinal symptoms like nausea or constipation. Serious side effects can include motor and mood changes, high blood sugar, and, in rare cases, a condition called tardive dyskinesia that causes uncontrollable movements.
What are the potential interactions?
Risperidone can interact with other medications, increasing the risk of side effects or reducing effectiveness. Especially, it may interact with drugs for Parkinson's disease, antidepressants, and medications for high blood pressure. Inform your doctor about all medications you are taking to avoid potential interactions.
