RISPERDAL M TABS (RISPERIDONE)

Risperdal M Tabs Description

If you are seeking treatment for schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, ask your doctor about Risperdal M Tabs or generic Risperidone Oral Disintegrating. This is an atypical antipsychotic drug your doctor can prescribe to help reduce your symptoms so you are able to function better during your day to day schedule. Risperdal M Tabs can also help decrease irritability caused by autistic disorder in 5-17 year olds. This may result in less aggressive behavior to others, fewer temper tantrums, and a lower risk of self-harm. The generic alternative is not manufactured by the company that makes the brand product.

Stop Reabsorption of Brain Chemicals to Reduce Your Symptoms

When taken as directed, Risperdal M Tabs will dissolve on your tongue and be absorbed into your bloodstream faster than travelling through your stomach, intestines, liver, then the bloodstream. The active ingredient, Risperidone, makes its way to your brain and works by blocking the receptors of the brain chemicals, dopamine and serotonin in particular. This means they will not be reabsorbed but left in your brain longer so there’s a higher level of them available to help with improving your sleep, moods, and focus.

More About Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorder

According to research, it is brain chemistry and structure problems that are involved with schizophrenia, as well as genetics and a person’s development. Whatever the cause, early diagnosis and treatment is essential as this mental illness will not simply go away. Some consider schizophrenia to be a deteriorating disease as there have been recent findings of a progressive loss of brain tissue during the early years of having schizophrenia.

Bipolar disorder is genetic and it could be a stressful event that can set off your first episode of mania or a mixed episode. The symptoms of mania, also known as a manic episode, include feeling ecstatic or irritable, impulsive actions, racing thoughts, and are distracted easily. A mixed episode could cause you to be sad, lose interest in activities you used to enjoy, become restless, or thoughts of death or harming yourself.
