Risperidone: Treatment
built 634 days ago
MAINTENANCE THERAPY: While there is no body of evidence available to answer the question of how long the patient treated with Risperidone should remain on it, the effectiveness of maintenance treatment is well established for many other antipsychotic drugs. It is recommended that responding patients be continued on Risperidone, but at the lowest dose needed to maintain remission. Patients should be periodically reassessed to determine the need for maintenance treatment.

Risperidone is in the FDA pregnancy category C. This means that it is not known whether risperidone will be harmful to an unborn baby. Do not take risperidone without first talking to your doctor if you are pregnant or could become pregnant during treatment.

If signs and symptoms of tardive dyskinesia appear in a patient on Risperidone, drug discontinuation should be considered. However, some patients may require treatment with Risperidone despite the presence of the syndrome.
