Risperidone dispersible tablets
Function and Efficacy
1. Pharmacological action Risperidone is a selective monoamine antagonist with high affinity for 5HT2 receptors, D2 receptors, α1 and α2 receptors and H1 receptors. It also has antagonistic effects on other receptors, but they are weaker. It has low to moderate affinity for 5HT1C, 5HT1D and 5HT1A, weak affinity for D1 and haloperidol-sensitive σ receptors, and no affinity for M receptors or β1 and β2 receptors. Like other drugs for the treatment of schizophrenia, the mechanism of risperidone in the treatment of schizophrenia is still unclear. It is believed that its therapeutic effect is the result of the combined effect of antagonism on D2 receptors and 5HT2 receptors. The antagonism of receptors other than D2 and 5HT2 may be related to other effects of risperidone. See the instructions for details.
Appearance

Animal experiments have shown that risperidone has no direct toxicity to reproduction, and only some indirect prolactin and central nervous system-mediated effects have been observed. This product has no teratogenic effect. In the last three months of pregnancy, fetuses exposed to antipsychotic drugs (including risperidone) are at risk of developing extrapyramidal symptoms or withdrawal symptoms after birth, which may vary in severity. These symptoms include agitation, hypertonia, hypotonia, tremor, drowsiness, respiratory distress and eating disorders.
