Risp LS Tablet

Product overview
Risp LS Tablet is a combination medicine prescribed for the management of schizophrenia. It works by regulating the activity of certain natural substances in the brain that influence mood, thoughts, and behavior.

This medicine can be taken with or without meals, preferably at bedtime. Taking it around the same time daily helps maintain a stable amount in the body. The exact dose and duration should always be as directed by your doctor. In case you forget to take a dose, take it when you remember, but if it is close to the next scheduled dose, skip the missed one. Do not stop taking it suddenly without medical advice, as this may worsen symptoms.

Possible side effects
Some people may experience nausea, constipation, dry mouth, blurred vision, tremors, dizziness, drowsiness, weight gain, or headache. Infections such as urinary or respiratory tract infections can also occur in some cases. At the start of treatment, there may be a sudden drop in blood pressure when standing up, so it is better to rise slowly from sitting or lying down. Lifestyle changes like a balanced diet and exercise can help minimize weight gain, high cholesterol, or increased blood sugar caused by this medicine. Most side effects are temporary and improve with time, but you should consult your doctor if they persist or trouble you.

Uses
Doctors prescribe Risp LS Tablet for the treatment of schizophrenia, a mental health condition where a person’s perception, thinking, and behavior become altered. By correcting chemical imbalances in the brain, it helps improve clarity of thought, mood, and overall quality of life. Improvement may take a few weeks, so continue the treatment even if benefits are not seen immediately, unless your doctor advises otherwise.

How it works
This tablet contains two active substances, risperidone and trihexyphenidyl. Risperidone is an atypical antipsychotic that balances brain chemicals such as dopamine and serotonin, improving symptoms related to mood and thought disturbances. Trihexyphenidyl belongs to the anticholinergic group of medicines and helps to manage certain nervous system effects, including movement-related problems that can occur during antipsychotic treatment.

Important precautions
Avoid alcohol while taking this medicine, as it may cause excessive sleepiness or dizziness. Use during pregnancy or breastfeeding is not recommended unless clearly needed and approved by a doctor. This medicine can cause blurred vision, drowsiness, and confusion in some cases, so driving or operating machinery is unsafe. Patients with kidney or liver problems should take this medicine cautiously, and dosage adjustments may be required as per medical advice.
