With the possible exception of clozapine (maximal officially indicated daily dosage: 900 mg), no other 2nd generation antipsychotic can be used at comparable maximum dosage on the basis of current available evidence. The level of activity of this enzyme affects the half-life of risperidone and the relative ratio of risperidone to 9-hydroxyrisperidone in plasma. Simply select your manager software from the list below and click on download. Rather, I tried to consider the most relevant published data and to add a few considerations derived by my personal experience of treatment of about 3000 cases with risperidone. If the pharmacy that's willing to deliver medicines to your home doesn't have risperidone in stock, you can ask for one of the For more information view the The paper is a review of the clinical use of risperidone, an antipsychotic introduced in the treatment of schizophrenia in 1994.

Acute and chronic psychosis.

However, risperidone presents major limitations both on the level of efficacy and of side effects. However, the half-life and total area under the serum concentration curve of risperidone plus 9-hydroxyrisperidone are similar in subjects with high or low level of activity of cytochrome P450 (2D6).Risperidone is available in tablets, fast orally disintegrating tablets, oral solution, and long-acting injectable form.The first registration studies assessed the efficacy of risperidone in the treatment of acute schizophrenia. Although the results of these studies are not fully consistent (probably for different study designs and clinical characteristics of the recruited samples), it appears that no other antipsychotic is consistently more efficacious than risperidone, with the possible exception of clozapine. Similar to the benzamide derivates, risperidone increases the levels of prolactin even more than FGA.Plasma prolactin concentrations in females are much higher than in males. Since the long-term effects of antipsychotic drug-induced HPRL are not well documented, especially regarding osteopenia, infertility, growth, and pubertal delay, risperidone should be administered with caution to children and adolescents.In patients prescribed antipsychotics with confirmed HPRL, other causes of prolactin elevation should be excluded, in particular tumors in the hypothalamic-pituitary area.There is a lack of robust recommendations for monitoring prolactin elevation among patients receiving risperidone.

The improvement of adverse effects associated with HPRL was higher in the course of Peony-Glycyrrhiza Decoction than in the bromocriptine treatment.Several case reports of risperidone-induced absence of ejaculation or retrograde ejaculation have been published.Many randomized controlled trials, naturalistic studies and extensive clinical experience have definitively shown clear efficacy and effectiveness of risperidone in the treatment of schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorders and other schizophrenia spectrum disorders, as well as of other psychotic disorders.On the basis of available evidence, no other antipsychotic drug (neither of 1st nor of 2nd generation) has shown superior clinical effectiveness in the treatment of psychotic disorders, with the significant exception of clozapine.Even at high dose, risperidone is characterized by a profile of motor side effects much more favorable in comparison with FGA. A substantial of patients with psychotic symptoms do not respond to risperidone, whatever its dose. On the basis of available evidence, no other antipsychotic drug has shown superior clinical effectiveness in the treatment of psychotic disorders, with the significant exception of clozapine. Furthermore, it makes possible the use of very low doses (down to 0.1-0.5 mg) in special populations of patients (very old patients, patients with severe hepatic or renal failure, patients unusually sensitive to anti-dopaminergic action of the drug).The drug is available in injectable long-term form. By mouth .

Nerves communicate with each other by making and releasing chemicals called neurotransmitters. These produce an increase in neurotransmitters concentration and thereby antipsychotic action. Mechanism of Action: Sucralfate exerts its action locally rather than systemically and its effect on gastric acid is negligible with a low acid-neutralizing capacity (14—16 mEq/dose).

Compared with placebo, treatment of neuropsychiatric symptoms of dementia with SGA leads to little or no increase in EPS and no significant weight change. Risperidone Study GroupEffectiveness of antipsychotic drugs in patients with chronic schizophreniaCATIE Investigators. Sucralfate reacts with hydrochloric acid in the stomach to form an adherent, paste-like substance capable of acting as an acid buffer. In my own experience, about 1% of acutely psychotic patients require doses of risperidone >10 mg/day (unpublished data). However, most clinical trials in which the efficacy of antipsychotics was studied for the treatment of neuropsychiatric symptoms in dementia were of short duration, and thus they cannot provide information on their true efficacy over the long term.Although effective, antipsychotics, including risperidone, have a modest effect on the neuropsychiatric symptoms of dementia, and an excess risk of death and morbidity is associated with their use in older patients. This means that it blocks dopamine from binding to the receptor, meanwhile not activating it. Compared with FGA, treatment of neuropsychiatric symptoms of dementia with SGA leads to a reduced risk of EPS, lower incidences of TD and no significant weight gain. Andrea”, Rome, Italy. Drug action.
