Hello I think risperidone oral solution (1 mg/ml) are indeed available in india - different brands like risperdal liquid, sizodon syrup, risdone liquid are there. Having said that, it is important to review whether your son continues to need risperidone. Benefits need to be balanced with potential side effects due to long term use. Managing a child with both autism and adhd can be a challenge, particularly if you have recently relocated to a new place. Try to get your son reviewed by a child psychiatrist or paediatric neurodevelopmental specialist in your city. Optimising medical and therapeutic input will be beneficial. Take care.

You can get the same medicine in India with a different brand name, SIZODON LIQUID, with a doctor's prescription.
