Risperidone (RPD) is an atypical antipsychotic primarily used to treat schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and irritability associated with autism. It works by blocking dopamine and serotonin receptors in the brain, helping to stabilize mood and reduce hallucinations and delusions
While effective, risperidone often causes side effects such as weight gain, drowsiness, and hormonal changes. Notably, it carries a higher risk of extrapyramidal symptoms (movement disorders) compared to other atypical antipsychotics, especially at higher doses. Regular monitoring is essential to manage these potential effects during long-term treatment.
