Risdone 1 Tablet

Product Introduction
Risdone 1 Tablet is prescribed for managing schizophrenia, a mental health condition that may cause hallucinations, delusions, and disorganized thinking and behavior. It is also used in the treatment of mania, a state of elevated or extremely excited mood.

This medication can be taken with or without meals, preferably during the evening. It is recommended to take it at the same time every day to maintain stable levels of the medicine in the body. The dosage and duration should be followed exactly as directed by your doctor. If you forget a dose, take it when you remember, but do not take two doses together. Do not stop taking this medication suddenly without medical guidance, as it may worsen your condition. Stop using the medicine immediately and seek medical help if you experience symptoms such as fever, muscle stiffness, confusion, or seizures, as these may indicate a serious condition called Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome (NMS).

Some common side effects of this medicine include difficulty sleeping, feeling sleepy, tiredness, headache, vomiting, excessive saliva, cough, and fever. In the beginning, you may notice a sudden drop in blood pressure when moving from sitting or lying down to standing, so stand up slowly to avoid dizziness. This medicine may also cause sleepiness or blurred vision, so avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until you know how it affects you. Weight gain may occur, but regular exercise and a healthy diet can help manage this effect.

This medicine may increase the risk of high blood sugar, so regular monitoring of glucose levels is advised. Contact your doctor if you notice unusual mood changes, worsening depression, or suicidal thoughts.
