Risperdal 1mg Tablet 30s

Introduction to Risperdal 1mg Tablet 30s

Risperdal 1mg Tablet 30s is an antipsychotic medication primarily prescribed to treat conditions like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and certain symptoms of irritability associated with autism.

Risperidone is classified as an atypical antipsychotic and works by acting on certain neurotransmitters in the brain, primarily dopamine and serotonin receptors. 

It helps restore the balance of these neurotransmitters, thereby reducing symptoms of psychosis and stabilizing mood.

Take it orally with a full glass of water, usually once or twice a day, as directed by your doctor. Do not discontinue or change the dosage without consulting your healthcare provider, as abrupt cessation may lead to withdrawal symptoms or worsening of your condition.
