Available strengths: <strong>0.5 mg ODT<\/strong>. Risperidone is a strong D2 and 5-HT2A antagonist with \u03b11-adrenergic and H1 antihistamine activity, but minimal anticholinergic effect. The strong D2 blockade explains both the strong antipsychotic effect and the high rate of EPS and prolactin elevation.<\/p>\n<p>The MT (mouth-disintegrating \/ orodispersible) formulation dissolves on the tongue without water \u2014 useful in acutely psychotic patients with covert non-adherence and in dysphagia.<\/p>\n<h2>Indicaties en dosering<\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Indicatie<\/th>\n<th>Startdosering<\/th>\n<th>Streefdosering<\/th>\n<th>Maximaal<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Schizophrenia (adult)<\/td>\n<td>1\u20132 mg OD or BID<\/td>\n<td>4\u20136 mg\/day<\/td>\n<td>16 mg<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Schizophrenia (adolescent \u2265 13 y)<\/td>\n<td>0.5 mg OD<\/td>\n<td>3 mg\/day<\/td>\n<td>6 mg<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Bipolar mania<\/td>\n<td>2\u20133 mg OD<\/td>\n<td>2\u20136 mg\/day<\/td>\n<td>6 mg<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Autism irritability (paediatric \u2265 5 y)<\/td>\n<td>0.25\u20130.5 mg OD<\/td>\n<td>0.5\u20133 mg\/day weight-based<\/td>\n<td>2.5\u20133 mg<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Older adults \/ dementia (off-label, last-resort)<\/td>\n<td>0.25 mg OD<\/td>\n<td>0.5\u20131 mg\/day<\/td>\n<td>2 mg<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2>Belangrijke veiligheidsoverwegingen<\/h2>\n<div style=\"background:#fff3f3;border-left:4px solid #d9534f;padding:14px 18px;margin:18px 0;border-radius:4px;\">\n<strong>FDA black-box \u2014 dementia-related psychosis<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:0;\">All atypical antipsychotics carry an FDA black-box warning for increased mortality (mostly cardiovascular and infectious) when used to treat behavioural disturbance in older adults with dementia. <strong>Atypicals are not approved for dementia-related psychosis or agitation<\/strong>.

Block D2 in the pituitary, and prolactin rises \u2014 sometimes 5\u201310\u00d7 normal. The downstream hormonal effects (amenorrhoea, galactorrhoea, sexual dysfunction, accelerated osteoporosis) are common. Switching to aripiprazole or quetiapine usually normalises prolactin within weeks.<\/p>\n<h3>How is Risdone MT different from olanzapine?<\/h3>\n<p>Risperidone has a stronger acute antipsychotic effect for many positive symptoms but produces more EPS and far more hyperprolactinaemia. Olanzapine is metabolically heavier but doesn&rsquo;t affect prolactin much. Choice depends on patient priorities: avoid weight gain \u2192 risperidone; avoid prolactin\/EPS \u2192 olanzapine or aripiprazole.<\/p>\n<h3>Will Risdone MT make me gain weight?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes \u2014 moderate, typically 2\u20134 kg over 6 months. Less than olanzapine or quetiapine, more than aripiprazole or lurasidone.<\/p>\n<h3>Can Risdone MT be used in children?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes \u2014 risperidone is one of the most-prescribed atypicals in paediatrics, particularly for autism-associated irritability (FDA approval from age 5) and bipolar disorder (from age 10). Long-term use in children carries growth and prolactin concerns; specialist supervision recommended.<\/p>\n<h3>How long until Risdone MT works?<\/h3>\n<p>Acute calming and reduced agitation within hours of the first oral dose. Antipsychotic effect on positive symptoms usually within 1\u20132 weeks; full effect at 4\u20136 weeks. Bipolar mania response within days.<\/p>\n<h3>What about the orodispersible form?<\/h3>\n<p>The MT (mouth-disintegrating) tablet dissolves on the tongue in seconds. Bioequivalent to swallowed tablets. Useful when adherence is uncertain or when swallowing is difficult.<\/p>\n<h3>Are LAI versions available?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes \u2014 Risperdal Consta (biweekly), Perseris (monthly subcutaneous), and Uzedy (monthly or bimonthly) are the three depot risperidone formulations, used for adherence support. The oral form is the standard initiation and titration formulation.<\/p>\n<h3>What about driving on Risdone MT?<\/h3>\n<p>The first 1\u20132 weeks of titration can impair reaction time. Most patients on stable doses drive normally. Avoid alcohol and other CNS depressants when driving.<\/p>\n<h3>Can Risdone MT be stopped abruptly?<\/h3>\n<p>Taper over 2\u20134 weeks. The relapse risk in schizophrenia and bipolar disease is the main reason for caution.<\/p>\n<h3>Does Risdone MT prolong the QT interval?<\/h3>\n<p>Modest effect; less than ziprasidone or thioridazine. Pre-treatment ECG is not routinely required but is reasonable in patients with cardiac risk factors.<\/p>\n<h2>Andere medicijnen voor geestelijke gezondheid<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/nl\/aripicon\/\">Aripicon (Aripiprazole \u2014 D2 partial agonist)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/nl\/olanzap\/\">Olanzap (Olanzapine \u2014 robust antipsychotic)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/nl\/risdone\/\">Risdone (Risperidone)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/nl\/seroquit\/\">Seroquit (Quetiapine \u2014 bipolar depression)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/nl\/atlura\/\">Atlura (Lurasidone \u2014 metabolically clean)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!-- medsbase-related-alts-v1 --><\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#fff3f3;border-left:4px solid #d9534f;padding:14px 18px;margin:18px 0;border-radius:4px;font-size:0.9em;\">\n<strong>Medisch disclaimer.<\/strong> Deze pagina is educatief en geen vervanging voor persoonlijk medisch advies.
