Points to Consider Regarding Risperidone

1. When using this drug, clinicians believe that the most significant feature of Risperidone is its broad application and relatively small side effects. The improvement of the formulation has also become another important factor for its popularity.

2. Prognosis cannot be predicted. Most cases persist throughout life, while a minority are episodic with recurrent attacks and increasing residual symptoms. A few patients may never have a recurrence after a single episode. Ultimately, approximately one-third of patients develop mental decline, one-third have residual mental symptoms, and one-third recover relatively safely.

3. Effective drug treatment can reduce the proportion of mental decline and increase the proportion of safe recovery. Favorable prognostic factors include acute onset, obvious precipitating factors, no significant personality defects before illness, no family history of the disease, intermittent attacks, early treatment, and harmonious family relationships.

4. We believe that controlling the condition during acute phase treatment is very important and critical. Reddy has shown significant efficacy in controlling acute phase symptoms and is currently widely used in some medical institutions.
