Treatment of psychiatric disorders (schizophrenia and mania), symptoms of dementia, and disruptive behavior disorders
This medication is effective for the treatment of schizophrenia and provides short-term treatment for agitation, aggression, and psychotic symptoms in patients with moderate to severe Alzheimer's disease. It is also used as an adjunct therapy with mood stabilizers for treating manic episodes in bipolar disorder. Furthermore, it aids in the treatment of disruptive behavior disorders such as aggression, impulsivity, and self-injurious behavior in children, adolescents, and adults with intellectual disabilities or low cognitive abilities. Thus, it is used effectively for various mental and behavioral disorders.
The therapeutic dose of this medication should be adjusted according to the patient's clinical condition, and the lowest effective dose possible should be administered. 1. Schizophrenia 1) Adults (1) Initial dose: Administer risperidone 1 mg orally twice daily and gradually increase the dose. (2) Maintenance dose: Administer 1∼3 mg twice daily. Adjust the dose appropriately according to age and symptoms. (3) No additional effects have been 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 judged to outweigh the risks. (4) Do not administer doses of 16 mg or more per day, as safety has not been established. (5) A benzodiazepine may be coadministered if additional sedative effects are needed. 2) Administration in special populations • Elderly patients and patients predisposed to hypotension The initial dose is 0.5 mg twice daily.

In general, increases to doses of 1.5 mg or more twice daily should be made at intervals of at least 1 week. 3) Switching from another antipsychotic medication to this medication When medically appropriate, start treatment with this medication while gradually reducing the dose of the existing medication.

Regularly reassess whether concomitant antiparkinsonian medication needs to be continued. 2.
