Risperidone

Risperidone is an antipsychotic forming part of the class of drugs known as atypical antipsychotics. This group of antipsychotics primarily works by reducing the effects of naturally occurring substances in the brain, such as dopamine and serotonin. Risperidone is prescribed to treat psychosis, schizophrenia, mania, severe depression, dementia, agitation, tics, obsessive-compulsive disorders and post-traumatic stress disorder.

Risperidone and the benefit of DNA analysis

The rate at which risperidone is processed within your body varies from one individual to another. This means that the efficacy and side effects of risperidone can be predicted to some extent on the basis of your genes. Preventive DNA analysis can therefore be an important tool in optimising your medication.
