Overview Risfer 2mg Tablet

Risperidone 2mg tablets treat schizophrenia (a mental illness causing hallucinations, delusions, and impaired thought/behavior) and manic episodes. Administer this medication with or without food, ideally at bedtime, consistently at the same time daily for steady blood levels. Follow your doctor's prescribed dosage and duration; if a dose is missed, take it immediately upon recall. Abrupt cessation is discouraged; consult your physician before stopping. Discontinue immediately if Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome (NMS) occurs (symptoms: fever, muscle stiffness, altered mental state, or convulsions). Common side effects include sleep disturbances, drowsiness, nausea, cough, Parkinson-like symptoms, headache, and fever. Postural hypotension (sudden blood pressure drop upon standing) may initially occur; rise slowly from sitting or lying positions. Drowsiness and dizziness are possible; avoid driving or activities requiring alertness until effects are known. Weight gain is a potential side effect; counteract this with a healthy diet and exercise. Increased diabetes risk exists; monitor blood glucose levels closely. Report any unusual mood or behavioral shifts, new or worsening depression, or suicidal thoughts to your doctor promptly.
