1. What is Risperidona Grindeks and what is it used for

Risperidona Grindeks belongs to a group of medicines called antipsychotics.

Risperidone is indicated for the treatment of the following conditions:

• Schizophrenia, in which you may see, hear or feel things that are not real, believe things that are not true or feel unusually suspicious or confused.
• Mania, in which you may feel very excited, elated, agitated, enthusiastic or hyperactive. Mania occurs in a disease called bipolar disorder.
• Short-term treatment (up to a maximum of 6 weeks) of persistent aggression in patients with Alzheimer's dementia, who may harm themselves or others. Alternative treatment (without medication) should have been used before.
• Short-term treatment (up to a maximum of 6 weeks) of persistent aggression in children with intellectual disability (from at least 5 years of age) and adolescents with behavioral disorders.

Risperidone can help alleviate the symptoms of your illness and prevent the symptoms from coming back.

2. What you need to know before you take Risperidona Grindeks

Do not take Risperidona Grindeks:

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

If you are not sure if any of the above applies to you, consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking risperidone.

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting to take risperidone, if:

• You have heart problems. Some examples are an irregular heartbeat, if you are prone to having low blood pressure or if you are taking medications for blood pressure. Risperidone may lower your 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 a disease whose symptoms include fever, muscle stiffness, sweating or decreased level of consciousness (also known as malignant neuroleptic syndrome).
• You have Parkinson's disease or dementia.
• If you have had low levels of white blood cells in the blood (which may or may not have been caused by other medications).
• You are diabetic.
• You have epilepsy.
• You are a man and have ever had a prolonged or painful erection.
• You have problems controlling body temperature or feel excessive heat.
• You have kidney problems.
• You have liver problems.
• You have an abnormally high blood level of a hormone called prolactinor if you have a tumor that may be dependent on prolactin.
• You or a family member have a history of blood clotting problems, as antipsychotics have been associated with the formation of blood clots.

If you are unsure if any of the above applies to you, consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking risperidone.

Since very rare cases of low and dangerous counts of certain types of white blood cells necessary to fight blood infections have been observed in patients taking risperidone, your doctor may check your white blood cell count.

Risperidone may cause weight gain. Significant weight gain can negatively affect your health. Your doctor will periodically check your body weight.

Since cases of diabetes mellitusor worsening of pre-existing diabetes mellitushave been reported in patients taking risperidone, your doctor should perform tests to detect signs of increased blood sugar. In patients with pre-existing diabetes mellitus, blood sugar should be regularly monitored.

Risperidone often increases the levels of a hormone called prolactin. This increase can cause side effects such as menstrual disorders or fertility problems in women or breast swelling in men (see the section on possible side effects). If such side effects occur, it is recommended to evaluate the level of prolactin in the blood.

It is possible that, during eye surgery for retinal opacity (cataracts), the pupil (the black circle in the center of the eye) may not dilate as it should. Additionally, the iris (the colored part of the eye) may become flaccid during surgery, which could cause eye damage. If you are scheduled to have eye surgery, make sure to inform your ophthalmologist that you are taking this medication.

Elderly patients with dementia

Elderly patients with dementia are at a higher risk of having a stroke. If you have dementia caused by a stroke, you should not take risperidone.

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

If you or your caregiver notice a sudden change in your mental state or sudden weakness or numbness of the face, arms or legs, especially on one side of the body, or slurred speech, even if only for a short period, you should seek medical attention immediately, as these may be signs of a stroke.

Children and adolescents

Before starting treatment for behavioral disorders, other causes of aggressive behavior should be ruled out.

If during treatment with risperidone you experience fatigue, a change in the administration time may improve attention problems.

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

In a small study where no clear conclusions were drawn, an increase in height was reported in children taking risperidone, but it is not known if this is an effect of the medication or due to another cause.

Other medicines and Risperidona Grindeks

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

It is especially important that you tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking any of the following medicines:

• Medicines that act on the brain, such as those used to help you calm down (benzodiazepines), some pain medications (opioids) or allergy medications (some antihistamines), as risperidone may increase the sedative effect of all of them.
• Medicines that can change the electrical activity of the heart, such as those used for malaria, heart rhythm problems, allergies (antihistamines), some antidepressants or other medications for mental problems.
• Medicines that cause a slow heartbeat.
• Medicines that cause low potassium levels in the blood (such as certain diuretics).
• Medicines used to treat high blood pressure. Risperidone may lower blood pressure.
• Medicines for Parkinson's disease (such as levodopa).
• Medicines that increase the activity of the central nervous system (psychostimulants, such as methylphenidate).
• Diuretic medicines used for heart problems or swelling of certain parts of the body due to excessive fluid accumulation (such as furosemide or chlorthiazide). When taking risperidone alone or with furosemide, the risk of stroke or death may increase in elderly patients with dementia.

The following medicines may reduce the effects of risperidone:

• Rifampicin (a medicine used to treat some infections)
• Carbamazepine, phenytoin (medicines for epilepsy)
• Phenobarbital

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

The following medicines may increase the effects of risperidone:

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

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

If you are unsure if any of the above applies to you, consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking risperidone.
