Contraindication

Mode of Action
Risperidone is an atypical antipsychotic. Its activity is mediated through a combination of dopamine (D2) and serotonin (5-HT2) receptor antagonism. It also exhibits affinity to adrenergic (alpha1 and alpha2) and histamine (H1) receptors. It is less likely to cause extrapyramidal effects than conventional antipsychotics.
Precaution
Preexisting CV diseases; discontinue use if signs and symptoms of tardive dyskinesia occur; renal and hepatic impairment, elderly, epilepsy; parkinsonism; pregnancy. May cause drowsiness and orthostatic hypotension. Gradual withdrawal is recommended. Monitor blood glucose in diabetics and patients at risk of developing diabetes.
Lactation: Drug distributed in breast milk; do not nurse
