Risdil Plus Tablet

Product overview
Risdil Plus Tablet is a prescription medicine that combines two active components and is used to manage schizophrenia. It acts by balancing certain natural brain chemicals that influence how a person thinks, feels, and behaves.

The medicine may be taken with or without food, though it is often preferred at night. Taking it at the same time every day helps maintain steady levels in the body. Always follow the dosage and duration as advised by your doctor. If a dose is missed, take it as soon as you recall unless it is close to your next dose—then simply skip the missed one. Do not stop the treatment suddenly without consulting your doctor, as symptoms may worsen.

Possible side effects
Some people may notice effects such as nausea, constipation, dry mouth, dizziness, tremors, headache, blurred vision, or sleepiness. Infections like urinary or respiratory tract infections may also occur. At the beginning of therapy, sudden drops in blood pressure while standing up may be experienced, so getting up slowly can help. The medicine can also increase weight, cholesterol, or blood sugar in some patients. Adopting a balanced diet and regular physical activity may help control these effects. Most side effects are temporary and improve as your body adapts, but medical advice should be sought if they persist.

Uses
Risdil Plus Tablet is mainly prescribed for schizophrenia, a condition that causes disturbances in thought, mood, and behavior. By restoring chemical balance in the brain, it improves mental clarity, reduces abnormal thinking, and enhances overall quality of life. Benefits may take several weeks to appear, so continuing the medicine regularly is important even if improvement is not immediately visible.

How it works
This medicine contains risperidone and trihexyphenidyl. Risperidone belongs to the group of atypical antipsychotics and helps to stabilize dopamine and serotonin levels, which improves mood and reduces behavioral disturbances. Trihexyphenidyl is an anticholinergic medicine that helps correct certain nervous system imbalances and reduces movement-related side effects caused by antipsychotic treatment.

Precautions and safety advice
Alcohol should be avoided during treatment, as it can cause excessive drowsiness. The medicine may not be considered safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding unless a doctor determines the benefits outweigh the risks. Because it can cause blurred vision, dizziness, or confusion, activities such as driving or operating machines are unsafe while under its effect. Patients with kidney or liver problems may require dosage adjustments, so medical supervision is essential.

Missed dose
If a scheduled dose is forgotten, it should be taken as soon as possible. If it is nearly time for the next one, skip the missed tablet and continue as normal. Doubling the dose is not recommended.
