Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
my grandchild has been given a prescription for 1 mg risperidone. he was previously on .25 mg risperidone. His parent has been giving him X3 .25 mg instead of having the 1 mg prescription filled. This worries me. Can this harm him or cause side affects ? Is this correct ?
Hi, Thank you for asking question on health care magic. The dose of resperidone is 1-3 mg daily Inreased dose may lead to extra pyramidal symptoms and even convulsions. Better consult your doctor and reschedule the dose. Hope this answer will serve your purpose Please feel free to ask any more queries if required Take care Dr.M.V.Subrahmanyam MD;DCH Associate professor of pediatrics
