RISDONE SYP 60ML

About

RISDONE SYP 60ML is an antipsychotic medication primarily used in the management of various psychiatric conditions. It contains Risperidone, an atypical antipsychotic that works by modulating the activity of certain neurotransmitters in the brain, such as dopamine and serotonin. This action helps to restore the chemical balance, thereby reducing symptoms associated with psychotic disorders like hallucinations, delusions, and disorganized thinking.

The syrup formulation offers a convenient and flexible dosing option, particularly beneficial for patients who have difficulty swallowing tablets, including children and the elderly. RISDONE SYP is indicated for the treatment of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder (manic or mixed episodes), and irritability associated with autistic disorder. Its therapeutic effects contribute to improved mood stability, reduced agitation, and enhanced overall cognitive and social functioning, leading to a better quality of life for patients.
