Precautions
Preexisting CV diseases; discontinue use if signs and symptoms of tardive dyskinesia occur; renal and hepatic impairment, elderly, epilepsy; parkinsonism; pregnancy. May cause drowsiness and orthostatic hypotension. Gradual withdrawal is recommended. Monitor blood glucose in diabetics and patients at risk of developing diabetes.
Lactation: Drug distributed in breast milk; do not nurse
Pregnancy-Lactation
Pregnancy
There is a pregnancy exposure registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in women exposed to atypical antipsychotics, including risperidone, during pregnancy
Healthcare professionals are encouraged to register patients by contacting the National Pregnancy Registry for Atypical Antipsychotics at 1-866-961-2388 or online at http://womensmentalhealth.org/clinical-and-research programs/ pregnancyregistry/
Infertility
Based on the pharmacologic action of risperidone, treatment may result in an increase in serum prolactin levels, which may lead to reversible reduction in fertility in females of reproductive potential
Disease-associated maternal and/or embryo/fetal risk
There is a risk to the mother from untreated schizophrenia, including increased risk of relapse, hospitalization, and suicide
Schizophrenia is associated with increased adverse perinatal outcomes, including preterm birth It is not known if this is a direct result of the illness or other comorbid factors
Fetal/neonatal adverse reactions
Extrapyramidal and/or withdrawal symptoms, including agitation, hypertonia, hypotonia, tremor, somnolence, respiratory distress, and feeding disorder reported in neonates who were exposed to antipsychotic drugs, including risperidone, during the third trimester of pregnancy; symptoms varied
Monitor neonates for extrapyramidal and/or withdrawal symptoms and manage symptoms appropriately
Lactation
Limited data from published literature reports the presence of risperidone and its metabolite, 9- hydroxyrisperidone, in human breast milk at relative infant dose ranging between 2.3 and 4.7% of the maternal weight-adjusted dosage
Reports of sedation, failure to thrive, jitteriness, and extrapyramidal symptoms (tremors and abnormal muscle movements) in breastfed infants exposed to risperidone
Consider the developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding along with the mother’s clinical need for the drug, and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from the drug or from the underlying maternal condition
Interactions
May antagonise the effects of levodopa and dopamine agonists. May increase serum levels of clozapine when used together. Increased serum levels of carbamazepine when used concurrently. Carbamazepine may also decrease the serum levels of risperidone. Increased risk of neuroleptic malignant syndrome when used with indinavir and ritonavir.
Potentially Fatal: Risperidone may enhance the hypotensive effect of certain antihypertensives.

Mode of Action
Risperidone is an atypical antipsychotic. Its activity is mediated through a combination of dopamine (D2) and serotonin (5-HT2) receptor antagonism. It also exhibits affinity to adrenergic (alpha1 and alpha2) and histamine (H1) receptors. It is less likely to cause extrapyramidal effects than conventional antipsychotics.
