Risperdal Consta Risperidone Prolonged Release Suspension IM Injection

• Administration: It's administered as an intramuscular injection, usually in the buttocks. The injection is typically given by a healthcare professional, often every 2 weeks, but this can vary based on the patient's condition and response to the medication.
• Dosage: The starting dose is often 25 mg every two weeks, but this can vary. The dosage may be adjusted based on the patient's needs, with typical ranges between 25 mg and 50 mg every two weeks.
• Mechanism: Risperdal Consta works by balancing the levels of certain neurotransmitters in the brain, particularly dopamine and serotonin. By adjusting these chemicals, it helps manage symptoms of psychosis (such as hallucinations and delusions) and mood disorders (like mania)
