1. What Rispolept is and what it is used for

Rispolept belongs to a group of medicines called antipsychotics.
Rispolept is used to treat:

  • schizophrenia – a condition in which the patient may see, hear, or feel things that do not exist, believe things that are not true, or experience unusual suspiciousness or disorientation
  • manic episodes – a condition in which the patient may experience intense excitement, agitation, enthusiasm, or excessive activity. Manic episodes occur in bipolar affective disorders
  • short-term treatment (up to 6 weeks) of persistent aggression in patients with Alzheimer's dementia who are a danger to themselves or others. Before initiating treatment, non-pharmacological alternative approaches should be considered
  • short-term treatment (up to 6 weeks) of severe aggression in intellectually disabled children (over 5 years of age) and adolescents with behavioral disorders.

Rispolept helps to alleviate symptoms of the disease and prevent their recurrence.

2. Important information before taking Rispolept

When not to take Rispolept

  • If the patient is allergic to the active substance or to any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).

If the patient is unsure whether the above information applies to them, they should consult their doctor or
pharmacist before taking Rispolept.
Warnings and precautions
Before starting treatment with Rispolept, discuss the following with your doctor or pharmacist:

  • If the patient has heart problems, such as irregular heartbeat, or if the patient is prone to low blood pressure, or is taking medications that regulate blood pressure. Rispolept may cause a drop in blood pressure. A dose adjustment may be necessary.
  • If the patient has any risk factors for stroke, such as high blood pressure, cardiovascular disorders, or cerebrovascular disease.
  • If the patient has ever experienced involuntary movements of the tongue, mouth, or face.
  • If the patient has ever had a condition characterized by fever, severe muscle stiffness, sweating, or decreased level of consciousness (also known as neuroleptic malignant syndrome).
  • If the patient has Parkinson's disease or dementia.
  • If the patient has previously had a low white blood cell count (which may or may not have been caused by other medications).
  • If the patient has diabetes.
  • If the patient has epilepsy.
  • If the patient is a male who has experienced prolonged or painful erection.
  • If the patient has problems regulating body temperature or is prone to overheating.
  • If the patient has kidney function disorders.
  • If the patient has liver function disorders.
  • If the patient has abnormally high levels of the hormone prolactin in the blood or suspicion of a prolactin-dependent tumor.
  • If the patient or a family member has a history of blood clots, as use of medicines like Rispolept has been associated with blood clot formation.

If the patient is unsure whether any of the symptoms described above apply to them, they should consult their
doctor or pharmacist before taking Rispolept.
The treating doctor may order a white blood cell count test, as very rarely, a dangerously low number of certain
types of white blood cells necessary to fight infections has been observed in patients taking Rispolept.
Rispolept may cause weight gain. Significant weight gain may negatively affect health. The treating doctor
will regularly monitor the patient's body weight.
The doctor should check for symptoms of high blood glucose levels, as diabetes has been reported in patients
taking Rispolept, and pre-existing diabetes may worsen. In patients with pre-existing diabetes, blood glucose
levels should be monitored regularly.
Rispolept often increases the level of a hormone called prolactin. This may cause adverse effects such as:
menstrual disorders, fertility problems in women, breast enlargement in men (see Possible side effects). If such
adverse effects occur, a blood test to measure prolactin levels is recommended.
During cataract surgery, the pupil may not dilate sufficiently. Also, the iris may be floppy during the procedure,
which may lead to eye damage. If the patient is scheduled for eye surgery, they must inform the ophthalmologist
that they are taking this medicine.
Elderly patients with dementia
In elderly patients with dementia, there is an increased risk of stroke. Patients with dementia caused by stroke
should not take risperidone.
During treatment with risperidone, the patient should have regular consultations with their doctor.
Seek immediate medical help if the patient or caregiver notices a sudden change in mental status, sudden
weakness or numbness in facial muscles or limbs—especially on one side—or speech disturbances, even if
they are brief. These symptoms may indicate a stroke.
Children and adolescents
Before starting treatment for behavioral disorders, other causes of aggressive behavior should be ruled out.
If fatigue occurs during treatment, timing of risperidone administration may be adjusted to improve
concentration.
Before starting treatment and regularly during treatment, the patient's body weight may be measured.
In a small study, increased growth was observed in children taking risperidone, but it is not known whether
this is due to the medicine or other factors.
Rispolept and other medicines
Tell your doctor or pharmacist about all medicines the patient is currently taking or has recently taken, as well
as any medicines they plan to take.
Patients should especially inform their doctor or pharmacist if they are taking any of the following
medicines:

  • Sedatives acting on the brain (benzodiazepines) or certain painkillers (opioids), antihistamines, as risperidone may enhance their sedative effect.
  • Medicines that may cause changes in the electrical activity of the heart, such as antimalarial drugs, antiarrhythmics, antihistamines, certain antidepressants, or other medicines used to treat psychiatric disorders.
  • Medicines that slow heart rate.
  • Medicines that reduce potassium levels in the blood (e.g., certain diuretics).
  • Medicines used for high blood pressure. Rispolept may lower blood pressure.
  • Medicines used to treat Parkinson’s disease (e.g., levodopa).
  • Medicines that increase central nervous system activity (psychostimulants, such as methylphenidate).
  • Diuretics (water tablets), used in patients with heart disease or to reduce swelling due to fluid accumulation (e.g., furosemide or chlorothiazide). Rispolept, taken alone or together 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 (used to treat certain infections).
  • Carbamazepine, phenytoin (used for epilepsy).
  • Phenobarbital. When starting or stopping these medicines, a change in risperidone dose may be needed.

The following medicines may increase the effect of risperidone:

  • Quinidine (used in certain heart conditions).
  • Antidepressants such as paroxetine, fluoxetine, tricyclic antidepressants.
  • Beta-blockers (used to treat high blood pressure).
  • Phenothiazines (e.g., used to treat psychosis or for sedation).
  • Cimetidine, ranitidine (reduce stomach acid).
  • Itraconazole and ketoconazole (used for fungal infections).
  • Certain medicines used to treat HIV/AIDS, such as ritonavir.
  • Verapamil, used to treat high blood pressure and (or) heart rhythm disorders.
  • Sertraline and fluvoxamine, used to treat depression and other psychiatric disorders.

When starting or stopping these medicines, a change in risperidone dose may be needed.
If the patient is unsure whether they have taken or are taking any of the medicines listed above,
they should consult their doctor or pharmacist before taking Rispolept.
Rispolept with food, drink, and alcohol
This medicine can be taken with or without food. During treatment with Rispolept, alcohol should be avoided.
Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and fertility

  • If the patient is pregnant or breastfeeding, suspects she may be pregnant, or is planning to have a child, she should consult her doctor or pharmacist before taking this medicine. The doctor will decide whether the patient can take Rispolept.
  • Newborns whose mothers took Rispolept during the third trimester (last 3 months of pregnancy) may experience the following symptoms: tremors, muscle stiffness and (or) weakness, drowsiness, agitation, breathing difficulties, and feeding problems. If such symptoms are observed in the baby, contact a doctor.
  • Rispolept may increase the level of prolactin in the blood—a hormone that may affect fertility (see section “Possible side effects”).

Driving and using machines
Dizziness, tiredness, and vision disturbances may occur while taking Rispolept. Therefore, do not drive, use tools,
or operate machinery without first consulting your doctor.
Rispolept coated tablets contain lactose and sodium
Coated tablets contain lactose—a type of sugar. If the patient has previously been diagnosed with intolerance
to certain sugars, they should consult their doctor before taking this medicine.
Coated tablets contain less than 1 mmol of sodium (23 mg) per dose and are therefore essentially “sodium-free.”
Rispolept 2 mg coated tablets also contain Sunset Yellow FCF (E 110) and may cause allergic reactions.
