RISPERDAL CONSTA (RISPERIDONE)

Risperdal Consta Description

Symptoms that include delusions, hallucinations, or mood changes that take you from riding high on cloud nine to feeling like you are at rock bottom may indicate that you have schizophrenia or bipolar 1 disorder. Risperdal Consta may be prescribed to reduce these symptoms. Risperdal Consta is a long-lasting injectible medicine your doctor will administer intramuscularly into your arm or buttocks once every two weeks. You don’t have to remember to take a pill, when to take it, or whether it should be with or without food/drink. Some may require Risperdal Consta as their only therapy or it may be administered while you are taking Lithium or Valproate.

The active ingredient called Risperidone is believed to work by interfering with communication among the nerves in your brain. In order for these nerves to send or receive messages they need neurotransmitters. These brain chemicals travel to and from other neighboring nerves and attach to receptors on the nerves. This can either cause inhibition or stimulation of the nerves. Risperdal Consta is designed to block a number of receptors, including dopamine-2, serotonin-2, and alpha-2 adrenergic. This will help to rebalance your neurotransmitters to improve your mood, thinking, and behavior.

Conditions Treated by Risperdal Consta

Schizophrenia is a complex condition that can cause changes in your thoughts, perception, and behavior. This makes it very difficult for you to hold a job, go to school, or even function in your own family unit. Family, friends, and co-workers can find it hard to imagine how distorted your world is or what frightening delusions you must be dealing with. Bipolar 1 disorder can affect your daily life negatively with impaired judgment, risky behavior, and racing thoughts. You have recurrences of extreme highs and lows and can find every day is hard to get through.

Before Risperdal Consta is Administered

Ask your doctor about any risks associated with Risperdal Consta if you are pregnant, may become pregnant, or are breast feeding. To determine if Risperdal Consta is safe for you, tell your doctor about other medical conditions or allergies you have and list all current OTC and Rx drugs you take, including herbal remedies and dietary or vitamin supplements.
