1. What Risperdal is and what it is used for

Risperdal belongs to a group of medicines called "antipsychotics".

Risperdal is used to treat the following conditions:

  • Schizophrenia, in which you may see, hear, or feel things that are not there, believe things that are not true, or feel particularly suspicious or confused
  • Mania, in which you may feel extremely excited, elated, agitated, enthusiastic, or hyperactive. Mania occurs in a condition called "bipolar disorder"
  • Short-term treatment (up to 6 weeks) of persistent aggression in patients with Alzheimer's type dementia who harm themselves or others. Alternative non-pharmacological treatments should have been tried previously
  • Short-term treatment (up to 6 weeks) of persistent aggression in intellectually disabled children (at least 5 years of age) and adolescents with conduct disorders.

Risperdal may help reduce the symptoms of your illness and help prevent them from returning.

2. What you need to know before taking Risperdal

Do not take Risperdal

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

If you are unsure, consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting Risperdal.

Warnings and precautions

Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking Risperdal if:

  • You have any heart problems. Examples include irregular heart rhythm, low blood pressure, or if you are taking medications for blood pressure. Risperdal may lower blood pressure. You may need a dose adjustment.
  • You have any risk factors that may predispose you to stroke, such as high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, or blood vessel problems in the brain.
  • You have ever experienced involuntary movements of the tongue, mouth, or face.
  • You have ever had symptoms including fever, muscle stiffness, sweating, or decreased level of consciousness (also known as Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome).
  • You have Parkinson's disease or dementia.
  • You have previously had low levels of white blood cells in your blood (whether or not caused by other medications).
  • You are diabetic.
  • You have epilepsy.
  • You are male and have previously experienced prolonged or painful erections.
  • You have problems regulating your body temperature or feel excessive heat.
  • You have kidney problems.
  • You have liver problems.
  • You have abnormally high levels of the hormone prolactin in your blood, or if you have a tumor that may be prolactin-dependent.
  • You or a family member has a history of blood clots, as antipsychotics have been associated with blood clot formation.

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

Rarely, patients treated with Risperdal have developed a dangerously low number of a type of white blood cell needed to fight infections. Your doctor may monitor your white blood cell count.

Risperdal may cause weight gain. Significant weight gain may negatively affect your health. Your doctor will regularly monitor your weight.

Cases of diabetes mellitus or worsening of pre-existing diabetes mellitus have been observed in patients taking Risperdal. Your doctor should check for signs of elevated blood sugar. In patients with pre-existing diabetes mellitus, blood sugar levels should be monitored regularly.

Risperdal frequently increases levels of a hormone called "prolactin." This may cause adverse effects such as menstrual disorders or fertility problems in women, or breast enlargement in men (see Possible side effects). If these adverse effects occur, blood prolactin levels should be evaluated.

During eye surgery for lens clouding (cataracts), the pupil (the black circle in the center of the eye) may not dilate as needed. Additionally, the iris (the colored part of the eye) may become floppy during surgery, which could cause eye damage. If you are considering eye surgery, make sure to inform your ophthalmologist that you are taking this medicine.

Elderly patients with dementia

In elderly patients with dementia, there is an increased risk of stroke. You should not take risperidone if your dementia is caused by a stroke.

During treatment with risperidone, you should see your doctor regularly.

If you or your caregiver notice a sudden change in your mental state, or sudden weakness or numbness in the face, arms, or legs—especially on one side—or if you experience confusion or slurred speech, even briefly, seek immediate medical attention. These may be signs of a stroke.

Children and adolescents

Other causes of aggressive behavior should be ruled out before starting treatment for behavioral disorders.

If you experience fatigue during treatment with risperidone, changing the time of administration may improve difficulties with attention.

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

A small, inconclusive study reported increased height in children taking risperidone, but it is unknown whether this is a drug effect or due to other factors.

Other medicines and Risperdal

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

It is especially important to talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking any of the following:

  • Medicines that act on the brain, such as those used to calm you (benzodiazepines), or certain pain medicines (opioids), or allergy medicines (some antihistamines), as risperidone may increase their sedative effect.
  • Medicines that can alter the electrical activity of your heart, such as those used for malaria, heart rhythm disorders, allergies (antihistamines), some antidepressants, or other medicines for mental disorders.
  • Medicines that cause a slow heartbeat.
  • Medicines that cause low potassium levels in the blood (such as certain diuretics).
  • Medicines for high blood pressure. Risperdal may lower blood pressure.
  • Medicines for Parkinson's disease (such as levodopa).
  • Medicines that increase central nervous system activity (psychostimulants, such as methylphenidate).
  • Diuretics used for heart problems or to treat swelling in parts of the body due to fluid retention (such as furosemide or chlorothiazide). Risperdal, alone or with furosemide, may increase the risk of stroke or death in elderly patients with dementia.

The following medicines may reduce the effect of risperidone:

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

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

The following medicines may increase the effect of risperidone:

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

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

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

Risperdal with food, drinks, and alcohol

You may take this medicine with or without food. You should avoid alcohol while taking Risperdal.

Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and fertility

  • If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or plan to become pregnant, consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking this medicine. Your doctor will decide whether you can take it.
  • The following symptoms may occur in newborns of mothers treated with Risperdal during the last trimester of pregnancy (last three months): tremors, muscle stiffness and/or weakness, drowsiness, agitation, breathing difficulties, and feeding problems. If your baby develops any of these symptoms, contact your doctor immediately.
  • Risperdal may increase levels of a hormone called "prolactin," which may affect fertility (see Possible side effects).

Driving and using machines

Dizziness, tiredness, and vision problems have been reported during treatment with Risperdal. Do not drive or operate tools or machinery without first consulting your doctor.

Risperdal film-coated tablets contain lactose and sodium

Film-coated tablets contain less than 1 mmol of sodium (23 mg) per dose; i.e., essentially "sodium-free."

Risperdal 6 mg film-coated tablets contain Sunset Yellow FCF (E110), which may cause allergic reactions.
