Product introduction

Rispond-Plus Tablet is a combination medicine used in the treatment of schizophrenia. It works by modulating the action of certain chemical messengers in the brain that affect thoughts.

Rispond-Plus Tablet is taken with or without food, preferably at night. However, it is advised to take it at the same time each day, as this helps maintain a consistent level of medicine in the body. Take this in the dose and duration advised by your doctor. If you miss a dose of this medicine, take it as soon as you remember. It is important not to stop this medicine suddenly without talking to the doctor, as it may worsen your symptoms.

Some common side effects of this medicine include nausea, constipation, upper respiratory tract infection, urinary tract infection, tremor, blurred vision, and dryness in the mouth. Initially, this medicine may cause a sudden drop in blood pressure when you change positions, so it is better to rise slowly if you have been sitting or lying down. It also causes dizziness and sleepiness. So, do not drive or do anything that requires mental focus until you know how this medicine affects you. This medicine may increase your weight, blood sugar, and cholesterol, but modifying your lifestyle by having a healthy diet and exercising regularly can reduce these side effects.

Your doctor should also know about all other medicines you are taking, as many of these may make this medicine less effective or change the way it works. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding.

How Rispond-Plus Tablet works

Rispond-Plus Tablet is a combination of two medicines: Risperidone and Trihexyphenidyl. Risperidone is an atypical antipsychotic that works by balancing the levels of chemical messengers (dopamine and serotonin) to improve mood, thoughts, and behavior. Trihexyphenidyl is an anticholinergic that works on the nervous system and corrects some of the chemical imbalances that cause Parkinson’s disease and certain side effects occurring during antipsychotic treatment.
