Introduction

Risdone Liquid is taken with or without food, preferably at night. However, it is advised to take it at the same time each day as this helps to maintain a consistent level of medicine in the body. Take this in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor and if you have missed a dose, take it as soon as you remember. It is important that this medication is not stopped suddenly without talking to your doctor as it may worsen your symptoms. However, discontinue this medicine immediately if you experience Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) characterized by fever, muscle rigidity, and altered consciousness or seizures.

Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Measure it with a measuring cup and take it by mouth. Shake well before use. Risdone Liquid may be taken with or without food but it is better to take it at a fixed time.

Risdone Liquid is an atypical antipsychotic. It works by affecting the levels of chemical messengers (dopamine and serotonin) to improve mood, thoughts, and behavior.

Risdone Liquid helps treat schizophrenia and mania. It may cause less weight gain, sedation, and heart problems as compared to other similar medicines. It may take 4-6 weeks to notice any medication effects. Keep taking it as prescribed. Use caution while driving or doing anything that requires concentration as Risdone Liquid can cause dizziness and sleepiness. It may cause increase in weight, blood sugar, cholesterol, and fat. Eat healthy, exercise, and monitor your levels regularly.
