Risdone 2 Tablet

Product introduction
Risdone 2 Tablet is a medicine used to manage schizophrenia, a mental condition that may cause hallucinations, delusions, and difficulty in thinking or behaving normally. It is also prescribed for the treatment of mania, which is characterized by extremely elevated mood and hyperactivity.

This medicine can be taken with or without food, preferably at night. It is important to take it at the same time each day to maintain a steady level in the body. Always use it in the exact dose and for the duration prescribed by your doctor. If a dose is missed, take it as soon as you remember unless it’s almost time for your next scheduled dose. Do not stop taking it abruptly without medical advice, as it may worsen your condition. Stop using it immediately and seek medical help if you experience symptoms of Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome (NMS) such as high fever, muscle stiffness, confusion, or seizures.

Some commonly reported side effects include sleep problems, dizziness, drowsiness, vomiting, headache, cough, parkinsonism-like symptoms, and fever. In the initial days, it may cause a sudden drop in blood pressure, especially when you stand up suddenly, so move slowly from sitting or lying positions. This medication can cause drowsiness or dizziness, so avoid driving or tasks requiring alertness until you know how it affects you. Weight gain may also occur; maintaining a balanced diet and regular exercise can help manage this effect.

This medicine may increase the risk of diabetes. It is recommended to monitor blood sugar regularly. Inform your doctor if you notice any mood changes, worsening depression, or thoughts of self-harm while using this medication.
