Overview Oltha R 2.5mg Tablet

Risperidone 2.5mg tablets treat schizophrenia (a mental illness causing hallucinations, delusions, and impaired thinking/behavior) and mania. This medication can be taken with or without food, but consistent daily timing ensures stable blood levels. Follow your doctor's dosage and duration instructions. If a dose is missed, take it immediately upon recall. Never abruptly discontinue use without consulting your doctor, as symptom worsening may occur. Common side effects include dry mouth, constipation, muscle stiffness, and agitation. Initially, postural hypotension (sudden blood pressure drops upon standing) may occur; rise slowly from sitting or lying. Dizziness and drowsiness are also possible; avoid driving or mentally demanding tasks until the effects are known. Weight gain, elevated blood sugar, and cholesterol are potential side effects, mitigable through diet and exercise. Rarely, serious side effects such as severe hyperglycemia or seizures can arise.
