About Risp Syrup

Belonging to the drug group known as atypical antipsychotic, Risp Syrup treats psychotic disorders. This medication treats schizophrenia and manic depression, both symptoms of bipolar disorder. It also cures irritability symptoms in children suffering from autism. Risp Syrup helps in restoring the balance of neurotransmitters (chemical messengers) in the brain, which can eventually reduce the symptoms associated with psychotic disorders. It can be a part of combination therapy, meaning you will have to take it with other medications for your treatment.

In case of a missed dose, skip it if you are near your next dose. Do not take two doses simultaneously, as overdose of Risp Syrup can cause rapid heart rate, severe drowsiness and restless movements of the muscles of the face.

The side effects of Risp Syrup include headache, drooling, drowsiness, nausea, and lightheadedness, a feeling of restlessness or weight gain. These mild symptoms normally go away in a few days, but in case it is persistent, a consultation with your doctor may be required. However, there may be certain side effects that will require immediate medical attention:

  • Uncontrolled movements of the muscles in the face like frowning, tongue movement and lip smacking
  • Swelling or tenderness of the breast in both women and men, missed or irregular menstruation and nipple discharge
  • High fever, sweating, tremors, uneven heartbeats and a faint-like feeling
  • Unusual bleeding from the mouth, nose, rectum or vagina and red or purple spots under the skin - which is an indication of low platelet levels in the blood
  • Increase in appetite, feeling thirsty more often, increase in the amount of urination and nausea - all indicating high blood sugar
  • Priapism (prolonged and painful erection of penis)

While you are on medication, avoid alcohol as it can worsen your side effects. Do not drive without doctor's consultation while you are on this syrup. Apart from that, always keep yourself hydrated by drinking lot of fluids.
