Treatment of psychiatric disorders (schizophrenia and mania), behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia, and disruptive behavior disorders
This medication is used to improve symptoms of schizophrenia patients. It also helps to treat agitation, aggression, and psychotic symptoms that occur in moderate to severe Alzheimer's-type dementia patients for a short period. It is used as an adjunct therapy to mood stabilizers during treatment of manic episodes associated with bipolar disorder. Additionally, it is useful for treating disruptive behaviors in various ages from children to adults who exhibit behavioral issues such as impulsivity, aggression, and self-harming behaviors. It is effectively used for a variety of mental and behavioral problems.
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. 1. Schizophrenia 1) Adults (1) Initial dose: Administer 1 mg of risperidone orally twice daily and increase the dose gradually. (2) Maintenance dose: Administer 1∼3 mg twice daily. Adjust the dose appropriately according to age and symptoms. (3) No additional effect 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 for 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 sedation is needed. 2) Administration in special populations • 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. 3) Switching from existing antipsychotic medication to this medicine When medically appropriate, start this medicine while gradually reducing the dose of the existing medication. Also, when switching from an existing depot antipsychotic medication, when medically appropriate, start this medicine in place of the next scheduled injection of the depot formulation. The need to continue any concomitant antiparkinsonian medication should be reassessed regularly. 2. Agitation, aggression, or psychotic symptoms in patients with dementia of the Alzheimer’s type The initial dose is 0.25 mg of this medicine twice daily. If needed, 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 up 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 rationale for continued use of this medicine should be evaluated. 3. Adjunctive treatment of manic episodes 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 rationale for continued use of this medicine should be evaluated.
