Overview Polo 40mg Injection

Risperidone 40mg Injection treats schizophrenia (a mental illness causing hallucinations, delusions, and impaired thinking/behavior) and mania. Administration with or without food is acceptable; consistent daily timing is recommended for optimal blood levels. Follow your doctor's prescribed dosage and duration. Missed doses should be taken promptly. Discontinuation requires physician consultation to avoid symptom exacerbation. Common side effects include dry mouth, constipation, muscle stiffness, and agitation. Postural hypotension (sudden blood pressure drop upon standing) may occur initially; rise slowly. Dizziness and drowsiness are possible; avoid driving or activities requiring alertness until effects are known. Weight gain, elevated blood sugar, and cholesterol are potential side effects, mitigated by healthy diet and exercise. Rare, but serious, adverse events include severe hyperglycemia and seizures.
