Description
Donresp 1mg Tablets – Risperidone for Schizophrenia, Bipolar Disorder & Autism-Related Irritability
Donresp 1mg Tablets by Cell Laboratories contain risperidone 1mg, an atypical antipsychotic medicine prescribed for the management of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and irritability associated with autism spectrum disorder. Risperidone acts via a dual receptor mechanism: it blocks dopamine D2 receptors, reducing positive psychotic symptoms such as hallucinations and delusions, and simultaneously blocks serotonin 5-HT2A receptors, improving mood, negative symptoms, and social functioning.
This balanced mechanism reduces the risk of extrapyramidal movement side effects compared to first-generation antipsychotics, making risperidone a widely prescribed first-line atypical antipsychotic in psychiatry. Donresp 1mg is a lower-strength starting dose, often used for initial titration or for patients who require a lower therapeutic level.
Risperidone must be taken exactly as directed by a psychiatrist. It should not be stopped without medical guidance, as abrupt discontinuation may destabilise the patient's condition. Long-term use requires regular monitoring by a healthcare professional.
