Risperidon Sandoz Orale Lösung
Risperidon Sandoz Orale Lösung Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Food Interaction and all others data.
Risperidon Sandoz Orale Lösung is a selective monoaminergic antagonist having a high affinity for serotoninergic 5-HT2 and dopaminergic D2 receptors. Risperidon Sandoz Orale Lösung binds also to alpha1 adrenergic receptors and with lower affinity, to H1 histamine and alpha2 adrenergic receptors. Risperidon Sandoz Orale Lösung has no affinity for cholinergic receptors. Risperidon Sandoz Orale Lösung, as a potent D2 antagonist, improves the positive symptoms of schizophrenia but causes less depression of motor activity. Balanced central serotonin and dopamine antagonism may reduce extrapyramidal side effect liability and extend the therapeutic activity to the negative and affective symptoms of schizophrenia.
The primary action of risperidone is to decrease dopaminergic and serotonergic pathway activity in the brain, therefore decreasing symptoms of schizophrenia and mood disorders.
Risperidon Sandoz Orale Lösung has a high binding affinity for serotonergic 5-HT2A receptors when compared to dopaminergic D2 receptors in the brain. Risperidon Sandoz Orale Lösung binds to D2 receptors with a lower affinity than first-generation antipsychotic drugs, which bind with very high affinity. A reduction in extrapyramidal symptoms with risperidone, when compared to its predecessors, is likely a result of its moderate affinity for dopaminergic D2 receptors.

Uses
Risperidon Sandoz Orale Lösung tablet is used for the treatment of acute and chronic schizophrenic psychoses, and other psychotic conditions, in which positive symptoms (such as hallucinations, delusions, thought disturbances, hostility, suspiciousness), and/or negative symptoms (such as blunted affect, emotional and social withdrawal, poverty of speech) are prominent. Risperidon Sandoz Orale Lösung also alleviate affective symptoms (such as depression, guilt feelings, anxiety) associated with schizophrenia. Risperidon Sandoz Orale Lösung is also effective inmaintaining the clinical improvement during continuation therapy in patients who have shown an initial treatment response. Risperidon Sandoz Orale Lösung is in dicated for the treatment of mania in bipolar disorder.
Risperidon Sandoz Orale Lösung is also used to associated treatment for these conditions: Acute Mania, Irritability, Mixed manic depressive episode, Psychosis, Schizophrenia, Acute Manic episode, Agitated psychotic state
How Risperidon Sandoz Orale Lösung works
Though its precise mechanism of action is not fully understood, current focus is on the ability of risperidone to inhibit the D2 dopaminergic receptors and 5-HT2A serotonergic receptors in the brain. Schizophrenia is thought to result from an excess of dopaminergic D2 and serotonergic 5-HT2A activity, resulting in overactivity of central mesolimbic pathways and mesocortical pathways, respectively.
D2 dopaminergic receptors are transiently inhibited by risperidone, reducing dopaminergic neurotransmission, therefore decreasing positive symptoms of schizophrenia, such as delusions and hallucinations. Risperidon Sandoz Orale Lösung binds transiently and with loose affinity to the dopaminergic D2 receptor, with an ideal receptor occupancy of 60-70% for optimal effect. Rapid dissociation of risperidone from the D2 receptors contributes to decreased risk of extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS), which occur with permanent and high occupancy blockade of D2 dopaminergic receptors. Low-affinity binding and rapid dissociation from the D2 receptor distinguish risperidone from the traditional antipsychotic drugs. A higher occupancy rate of D2 receptors is said to increase the risk of extrapyramidal symptoms and is therefore to be avoided.
Increased serotonergic mesocortical activity in schizophrenia results in negative symptoms, such as depression and decreased motivation. The high-affinity binding of risperidone to 5-HT2A receptors leads to a decrease in serotonergic activity. In addition, 5-HT2A receptor blockade results in decreased risk of extrapyramidal symptoms, likely by increasing dopamine release from the frontal cortex, and not the nigrostriatal tract. Dopamine level is therefore not completely inhibited. Through the above mechanisms, both serotonergic and D2 blockade by risperidone are thought to synergistically work to decrease the risk of extrapyramidal symptoms.
Risperidon Sandoz Orale Lösung has also been said to be an antagonist of alpha-1 (α1), alpha-2 (α2), and histamine (H1) receptors.[L1212] Blockade of these receptors is thought to improve symptoms of schizophrenia, however the exact mechanism of action on these receptors is not fully understood at this time.
Dosage
Risperidon Sandoz Orale Lösung dosage
Psychoses: 2 mg in 1-2 divided doses on 1st day then 4 mg in 1-2 divided doses on second day (Slower titration appropriate in some patients); usual dose range 4-6 mg daily; doses above 10 mg daily only if benefit considered to outweigh risk (max. 16 mg daily).
