Risdone-Plus Tablet

Product introduction
Risdone-Plus Tablet is a prescription medication used to manage schizophrenia. It works by balancing specific brain chemicals that influence thoughts, mood, and behavior.

This medicine can be taken with or without food, preferably at bedtime. It is recommended to take it at the same time every day to maintain steady levels in the body. Follow your doctor’s dosage instructions carefully. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. Do not stop taking the medicine suddenly without consulting your doctor, as this can worsen your condition.

Some common side effects may include nausea, constipation, dry mouth, weight gain, dizziness, drowsiness, tremors, blurred vision, upper respiratory or urinary tract infections, and nasal congestion. In the beginning, it may cause a sudden drop in blood pressure when changing positions, so rise slowly if you have been sitting or lying down. Because it can cause dizziness and sleepiness, avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until you know how the medicine affects you. Lifestyle changes such as regular exercise and a balanced diet may help reduce weight gain, high blood sugar, and cholesterol levels caused by this medicine.

Inform your doctor about all the medicines you are currently taking, as some may interfere with the effectiveness of Risdone-Plus Tablet. Also, let your doctor know if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.

How Risdone-Plus Tablet works
This medicine combines two active ingredients: Risperidone and Trihexyphenidyl. Risperidone is an atypical antipsychotic that works by balancing levels of dopamine and serotonin in the brain, which improves mood, thinking, and behavior. Trihexyphenidyl is an anticholinergic that helps control nerve signals and corrects chemical imbalances, reducing certain side effects that may occur with antipsychotic medications.
