Espidone Tablets SpecificationRequires Prescription (YES/NO)YesGenericsRisperidoneUsed ForSchizophreniaHow it worksThe mechanism of action of risperidone in schizophrenia is unclear. The drug?s therapeutic activity in schizophrenia could be mediated through a combination of dopamine Type 2 (D2) and serotonin Type 2 (5HT2) receptor antagonism. The clinical effect from risperidone results from the combined concentrations of risperidone and its major metabolite, 9-hydroxyrisperidone (paliperidone). Antagonism at receptors other than D2 and 5HT2 may explain some of the other effects of risperidone.Espidone Tablets Usage And SafetyDosageRisperidoneSide Effects?
