1. What is Risperdal and what is it used for

Risperdal belongs to a group of medications called "antipsychotics".

Risperdal is used to treat the following:

  • Schizophrenia, with which you may see, hear, or feel things that are not there, believe in something that is not true, or feel particularly suspicious or confused
  • Mania, with which you may feel very excited, elated, agitated, enthusiastic, or hyperactive. Mania occurs in a disease called "bipolar disorder"
  • Short-term treatment (up to 6 weeks) of persistent aggression in people with Alzheimer's disease, who harm themselves or others. Other alternative treatments (non-pharmacological) should have been tried previously
  • Short-term treatment (up to 6 weeks) of persistent aggression in intellectually disabled children and adolescents with behavioral disorders.

Risperdal may help reduce the symptoms of your illness and prevent them from coming back.

2. What you need to know before taking Risperdal

Do not take Risperdal

  • If you are allergic to risperidone or any of the other ingredients of this medication (listed in section 6).

If you are not sure, consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking Risperdal.

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking Risperdal if:

  • You have any heart problems. Examples include heart rhythm disorders or if you are prone to low blood pressure or if you use medications for blood pressure. Risperdal may lower blood pressure. You may need to have your dose adjusted
  • You know of any factor that may make you prone to having a stroke, such as high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, or problems with the blood vessels in the brain
  • You have ever had involuntary movements of the tongue, mouth, and face
  • You have ever had symptoms that include fever, muscle stiffness, sweating, or a decrease in the level of consciousness (also known as Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome)
  • You have Parkinson's disease or dementia
  • If you have had low levels of white blood cells in the past (which may or may not have been caused by other medications)
  • You are diabetic
  • You have epilepsy
  • You are male and have ever had a prolonged or painful erection
  • You have problems controlling your body temperature or feel excessive heat
  • You have kidney problems
  • You have liver problems
  • You have an abnormally high level of the hormone prolactin in your blood or if you have a tumor that may be dependent on prolactin.
  • You or a family member have a history of blood clot problems, as antipsychotics have been associated with the formation of blood clots.

If you are unsure about any of the above, consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking Risperdal.

Because very rarely, patients treated with Risperdal have been observed to have a dangerously low number of a type of white blood cell necessary to fight infections in the blood, your doctor may check your white blood cell count.

Risperdal may cause you to gain weight. Significant weight gain can affect your health unfavorably. Your doctor will regularly monitor your weight.

Because diabetes mellitus or worsening of pre-existing diabetes mellitus has been seen in patients taking Risperdal, your doctor should check for signs of elevated blood sugar. In patients with pre-existing diabetes mellitus, blood sugar should be regularly monitored.

Risperdal often increases the levels of a hormone called "prolactin". This can cause side effects such as menstrual disorders or fertility problems in women or breast swelling in men (see Possible side effects). If these side effects occur, it is recommended to evaluate prolactin levels in the blood.

During eye surgery for cataracts, the pupil (the black circle in the middle of the eye) may not increase in size as needed. Additionally, the iris (the colored part of the eye) may become flaccid during surgery, which can cause eye damage. If you are considering eye surgery, make sure to inform your ophthalmologist that you are using this medication.

Elderly patients with dementia

In elderly patients with dementia, there is an increased risk of having a stroke. You should not take risperidone if you have dementia caused by a stroke.

During treatment with risperidone, you should see your doctor frequently.

If you or your caregiver notice a sudden change in your mental state or the sudden appearance of weakness or numbness in the face, arms, or legs, especially on one side, or confused speech, even if only for a short time, seek medical attention immediately. It may be a sign of a stroke.

Children and adolescents

Other causes of aggressive behavior should be ruled out before starting treatment for behavioral disorders.

If during treatment with risperidone you experience fatigue, changing the administration hours may improve your attention difficulties.

Before starting treatment, your weight or your child's weight may be measured and followed regularly during treatment.

A small, inconclusive study has reported an increase in height in children who took risperidone, but it is unknown whether this is a drug effect or due to another reason.

Other medications and Risperdal

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or may take any other medication.

It is especially important to talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you take any of the following

  • Medications that act on your brain, such as those used to calm you down (benzodiazepines) or some pain medications (opioids), allergy medications (some antihistamines), as risperidone may increase their sedative effect
  • Medications that can modify the electrical activity of your heart, such as those used for malaria, heart rhythm problems, allergies (antihistamines), some antidepressants, or other medications for mental problems
  • Medications that cause a slow heartbeat
  • Medications that cause low potassium levels in the blood (such as some diuretics)
  • Medications for high blood pressure. Risperdal may lower blood pressure
  • Medications for Parkinson's disease (such as levodopa)
  • Medications that increase the activity of the central nervous system (psychostimulants, such as methylphenidate)
  • Diuretics, which are used for heart problems or to treat swelling of some parts of the body due to fluid retention (such as furosemide or chlorothiazide). Risperdal, taken alone or with furosemide, may increase the risk of stroke or death in elderly patients with dementia.

The following medications may decrease the effect of risperidone

  • Rifampicin (a medication for treating some infections)
  • Carbamazepine, phenytoin (medications for epilepsy)
  • Phenobarbital.

If you start or stop taking these medications, you may need a different dose of risperidone.

The following medications may increase the effect of risperidone

  • Quinidine (used for certain types of heart disease)
  • Antidepressants such as paroxetine, fluoxetine, tricyclic antidepressants
  • Medications known as beta-blockers (used to treat high blood pressure)
  • Phenothiazines (such as medications used to treat psychosis or as sedatives)
  • Cimetidine, ranitidine (stomach acid blockers)
  • Itraconazole and ketoconazole (medications used to treat fungal infections)
  • Some medications used to treat HIV/AIDS, such as ritonavir
  • Verapamil, a medication used to treat high blood pressure and/or abnormal heart rhythm
  • Sertraline and fluvoxamine, medications used to treat depression and other psychiatric disorders.

If you start or stop taking these medications, you may need a different dose of risperidone.

If you are unsure about any of the above, consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking Risperdal.

Using Risperdal with food, drinks, and alcohol

You can take this medication with or without food. You should avoid consuming alcohol while taking Risperdal.

Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and fertility

  • If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or plan to become pregnant, consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking this medication. Your doctor will decide if you can take it
  • The following symptoms may occur in newborn babies of mothers who have been treated with Risperdal in the last trimester of pregnancy (last three months of pregnancy): tremors, stiffness and/or muscle weakness, drowsiness, agitation, breathing problems, and difficulty feeding. If your baby develops any of these symptoms, you should contact your doctor
  • Risperdal may increase the levels of a hormone called "prolactin" that can affect fertility (see Possible side effects).

Driving and using machines

Dizziness, fatigue, and vision problems have been observed during treatment with Risperdal. Do not drive or operate tools or machines without consulting your doctor first.
