Junghun Risperidone Tablets 2 mg

Adult dose

The therapeutic dose of this medicine should be adjusted according to the patient's clinical condition, and the lowest effective dose possible should be administered. Place this medicine on the tongue and, once it disintegrates within a few seconds, swallow it without water or with water (for orally disintegrating tablets only.). Initial dose for adults with schizophrenia: Administer 1 mg of risperidone orally twice daily and gradually increase the dose. Maintenance dose for adults with schizophrenia: Administer 1∼3 mg twice daily. Adjust the dose appropriately according to age and symptoms. No additional benefit was observed with doses of 10 mg or more per day compared with lower doses, and such doses may increase the risk of extrapyramidal symptoms. Doses of 10 mg or more per day should be administered only when the benefits to the individual patient are considered to outweigh the risks. The safety of doses of 16 mg or more per day has not been established; do not administer such doses. If additional sedation is needed, a benzodiazepine may be administered concomitantly. Schizophrenia, elderly patients, and patients predisposed to hypotension: The initial dose is 0.5 mg twice daily. Depending on the patient's condition, increase the dose by 0.5 mg twice daily until a dose of 1～2 mg twice daily is reached. Increases to doses of 1.5 mg or more twice daily should generally be made at intervals of at least 1 week. Switching from another antipsychotic medicine to this medicine: When medically appropriate, initiate this medicine while gradually reducing the dose of the existing medicine. Also, when switching from an existing depot antipsychotic medicine, if medically appropriate, initiate this medicine in place of the next scheduled injection of the depot formulation. The need to continue concomitant antiparkinsonian medication should be reassessed regularly. Agitation, aggression, or psychotic symptoms in patients with Alzheimer's-type dementia: The initial dose is 0.25 mg of this medicine twice daily. If necessary, depending on the patient, the dose may be increased by 0.25 mg twice daily at intervals of at least 2 days. The optimal dose for most patients is 0.5 mg twice daily, but depending on the patient, the dose may be increased to 1 mg twice daily. Once the patient has reached the optimal dose, once-daily administration may also be considered. As with symptomatic treatment, the appropriateness of continued use of this medicine should be evaluated. Adjunctive treatment for mania in bipolar disorder: The recommended initial dose is 2 mg of this medicine once daily. Depending on the patient, the dose may be increased by 1 mg per day at intervals of 24 hours or more. The optimal dose for most patients is within the range of 2∼6 mg per day. As with symptomatic treatment, the appropriateness of continued use of this medicine should be evaluated. Renal and hepatic impairment: In patients with renal or hepatic impairment, administer half the initial and maintenance doses and adjust the dose more gradually. Use this medicine with caution in these patients (refer to 5. General precautions).

This medication should be used very cautiously in elderly dementia patients as it may increase mortality. Careful consideration of risks and benefits should be made, especially when used in combination with furosemide as it may elevate the risk of death. There is a risk of developing venous thrombosis, so risk factors for thrombosis should be checked and preventative measures taken before and during administration. Because this medication contains aspartame, caution is advised for patients with specific genetic disorders, such as phenylketonuria. It should not be administered to patients with hypersensitivity to this drug, patients whose central nervous system is inhibited due to alcohol or central nervous system depressants, patients in a coma, those undergoing epinephrine administration, and patients with genetic issues like lactose intolerance. Patients with cardiovascular diseases or dehydration, those at risk of arrhythmias or QT interval prolongation, patients with impaired liver or kidney function, those at risk of suicide, patients with Parkinson's disease or Lewy body dementia, diabetes patients, elderly patients, and pregnant or breastfeeding women should use this medication cautiously. This medication may cause various side effects, particularly neurologic symptoms, low blood pressure, gastrointestinal symptoms, skin rashes, and muscle and joint pain. Immediate consultation with healthcare providers is necessary if adverse effects occur. Moreover, caution is advised when using this medication with other central nervous system drugs or alcohol as it may enhance CNS depressant effects. It should also be used cautiously in combination with specific antihypertensive drugs or drugs that prolong the QT interval. During pregnancy, it should only be administered after consulting a physician due to potential effects on the fetus, and if breastfeeding, discontinuation of breastfeeding is recommended. Dose adjustment and monitoring of condition are required when administering this medication to children and the elderly. In case of overdose, immediate medical attention is necessary, as there is no specific antidote for this medication and supportive treatment according to symptoms should be undertaken. This drug is fragile and should not be crushed or cut, and should be taken immediately after opening. It should also not be mixed with tea or cola as this may reduce efficacy. Lastly, it should be stored out of reach of children and should not be transferred to another container.
