for<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Rispemyl belongs to the group of antipsychotic drugs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rispemyl is used to treat the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Schizophrenia, can mean seeing, hearing, or feeling things that do not exist, believing things that are not real, or feeling unusually suspicious or confused.<\/li><li>Manic periods can mean that you feel very excited, elated, upset, enthusiastic, or overactive.\u00a0Mania occurs in a disease called &#8220;bipolar disorder&#8221;.<\/li><li>Short-term treatment (up to 6 weeks) of long-term aggression in people with\u00a0Alzheimer&#8217;s disease\u00a0with dementia, which harms themselves or others.\u00a0Alternative treatment without medication must have been tried before.<\/li><li>Short-term treatment (up to 6 weeks) of long-term aggression in children (at least 5 years old) with impaired intellectual ability and adolescents with behavioral disorders.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Risperidone\u00a0contained in Rispemyl may also be approved for the treatment of other conditions not mentioned in this leaflet.\u00a0Ask your doctor, pharmacist, or another healthcare professional if you have any further questions, and always follow their instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What you need to know before using Rispemyl<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do not use Rispemyl<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>if you are allergic to&nbsp;risperidone&nbsp;or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Warnings and cautions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking Rispemyl:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>if you are using\u00a0furosemide\u00a0(a diuretic used to reduce swelling and fluid retention caused by various diseases, including heart and liver disease).<\/li><li>if you have heart problems.\u00a0Examples include if you have a weakened heart muscle (\u00a0heart failure\u00a0), have had a heart attack, if you tend to have low\u00a0blood pressure,\u00a0or are taking blood pressure medication.\u00a0Rice powder can cause low\u00a0blood pressure.\u00a0Your\u00a0dose\u00a0may need to be adjusted.<\/li><li>if you or someone in your family has a history of irregular heartbeat, as this medication has been associated with potentially serious changes in your heartbeat.<\/li><li>if you know you have a risk factor for\u00a0strokes, such as high\u00a0blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, or a problem with a blood vessel in your brain<\/li><li>if you know of any factors that make it more likely to develop a blood clot, such as if you smoke or have smoked, or if it is likely that you will be immobile for a long period (eg after surgery or illness ).<\/li><li>if you or anyone else in your family has a history of blood clots, as medications like this have been linked to blood clots.<\/li><li>if you have or have had, a low number of\u00a0white blood cells\u00a0in your blood, especially if this has happened when you have taken other medicines.<\/li><li>if you have ever experienced involuntary movements of the tongue, mouth, and face.<\/li><li>if you have ever had a condition in which the symptoms include high body temperature, muscle stiffness, sweating, or decreased level of consciousness (also called malignant neuroleptic syndrome).<\/li><li>if you have\u00a0Parkinson&#8217;s disease\u00a0(a disease of the brain that causes movement disorders such as tremors, stiffness, slow movements, and sluggish gait) or dementia (general impairment of all mental abilities such as memory impairment and other mental performance), especially Lewy body dementia (abnormal protein accumulation inside nerve cells in\u00a0Parkinson&#8217;s disease\u00a0).<\/li><li>if you are diabetic, or at risk of developing\u00a0diabetes\u00a0(if you have elevated blood sugar levels).<\/li><li>if you have\u00a0epilepsy.<\/li><li>if you are a man and have ever had a persistent or painful\u00a0erection.<\/li><li>if you have problems controlling your body temperature, often overheat or are, or maybe, exposed to very high temperatures or intense exercise.<\/li><li>if you are, or during treatment, become dehydrated or have a low blood volume (\u00a0hypovolemia\u00a0).<\/li><li>if you have low levels of\u00a0potassium\u00a0or\u00a0magnesium\u00a0in your blood.<\/li><li>if you have kidney problems.<\/li><li>if you have liver problems.<\/li><li>if you have abnormally high levels of the\u00a0hormone\u00a0et\u00a0prolactin\u00a0in your blood or if you have a\u00a0tumor\u00a0that may be dependent on\u00a0prolactin.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are not sure if any of the above applies to you, talk to your doctor or pharmacist before using Rispemyl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>During treatment<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Risperidone\u00a0can cause changes in the number of\u00a0white blood cells, which help counteract\u00a0infection, and therefore your doctor may take blood samples before and during treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rice powder can cause weight gain.\u00a0Significant weight gain can hurt your health.\u00a0Your doctor should check your body weight regularly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because\u00a0diabetes\u00a0or worsening of existing\u00a0diabetes\u00a0has been seen in patients taking Rispemyl, your doctor should check for signs of high blood sugar.\u00a0In patients with pre-existing\u00a0diabetes, blood sugar (\u00a0glucose\u00a0) should be monitored regularly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is common for Rispemyl to increase the levels of a\u00a0hormone\u00a0called &#8220;prolactin&#8221;.\u00a0This can lead to\u00a0side effects\u00a0such as menstrual disorders or fertility problems in women, swelling of the breasts in men, low sexual drive,\u00a0impotence, and milk leakage from the breasts (see Possible\u00a0side effects\u00a0).\u00a0If such\u00a0side effects\u00a0occur, an assessment of the prolactin level in the blood is recommended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are going to have eye\/eye surgery, tell your doctor or hospital staff that you are taking this medicine.\u00a0During\u00a0cataract surgery\u00a0(clouding of the lens of the eye), this drug can affect the\u00a0pupil\u00a0or\u00a0iris\u00a0(the colored part of the eye), which can lead to eye damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Elderly people with dementia<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In elderly patients with dementia, there is an increased risk of\u00a0stroke\u00a0or mini-stroke\u00a0(also called a transient ischemic attack or\u00a0TIA\u00a0).\u00a0You should not use\u00a0risperidone\u00a0if you have dementia caused by a\u00a0stroke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should have regular contact with your doctor while you are being treated with\u00a0risperidone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seek medical attention immediately if you or the person caring for you notice a sudden change in your mental state or if you suffer from sudden weakness or numbness in the face, arms or legs, especially on one side, vision problems, or slurred speech, even if it is only short-lived.\u00a0The enumerating symptoms may be signs of a stroke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Children and young people<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before initiating treatment for a behavioral disorder, other causes of the aggressive behavior must have been ruled out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If fatigue occurs during treatment with\u00a0risperidone, a change in the timing of drug intake may result in improved attention span.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before starting treatment, you or your child may be weighed and the weight may be monitored regularly during treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A small and incomplete study has reported an increase in length in children taking\u00a0risperidone, but whether this is an effect of the drug or due to something else is unknown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other medicines and Rispemyl<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicines, including medicines obtained without a prescription, herbal medicines, or other natural products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You must talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking any of the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Drugs that affect the brain, e.g.\u00a0sedatives (\u00a0benzodiazepines\u00a0), certain painkillers (opiates), allergy medicines (certain\u00a0antihistamines\u00a0),\u00a0and risperidone\u00a0may increase the sedative effect of all these medicines.<\/li><li>Drugs that can affect the electrical activity of the heart, e.g.\u00a0medicines for\u00a0malaria\u00a0(quinine, mefloquine), heart rhythm problems (such as\u00a0quinidine,\u00a0disopyramide,\u00a0procainamide,\u00a0propafenone,\u00a0amiodarone, sotalol),\u00a0allergies\u00a0(\u00a0antihistamines\u00a0), certain antidepressants or other medicines for mental problems (such as\u00a0paroxetine,\u00a0fluoxetine,\u00a0sertraline, fluvoxamine,\u00a0tricyclic antidepressant agents, (such as amitriptyline), tetracyclic antidepressants (such as maprotiline)) or other mental health medicines (such as <a href=\"https:\/\/zeepedia.com\/medical\/medicines\/trevicta\/\">paliperidone<\/a> or phenothiazines used to treat\u00a0psychosis\u00a0or to calm down).<\/li><li>Medicines that cause a slow heartbeat\/pulse, such as beta-blockers\u00a0or verapamil (used to treat high\u00a0blood pressure\u00a0or angina).<\/li><li>Drugs that reduce the level of\u00a0potassium\u00a0or\u00a0magnesium\u00a0in the blood (eg certain diuretics).<\/li><li>Medicines for high\u00a0blood pressure.\u00a0Rice powder can lower\u00a0blood pressure.<\/li><li>Medicines for\u00a0Parkinson&#8217;s disease\u00a0(eg\u00a0levodopa\u00a0).<\/li><li>Drugs that increase the activity of the central nervous system (psychostimulants,\u00a0for example,\u00a0methylphenidate).<\/li><li>Diuretics (\u00a0diuretics\u00a0) are used for heart problems or swelling in parts of the body due to the accumulation of too much fluid (eg\u00a0furosemide\u00a0or chlorothiazide).\u00a0Rice powder taken separately or together with\u00a0furosemide\u00a0may increase the risk of\u00a0stroke\u00a0or death in elderly people with dementia.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The following medicines may reduce the effect of&nbsp;risperidone<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Rifampicin (a medicine used to treat certain&nbsp;infections&nbsp;)<\/li><li>Carbamazepine,&nbsp;phenytoin (&nbsp;antiepileptic&nbsp;medicine&nbsp;)<\/li><li>Phenobarbital<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you start or stop taking these

to treat HIV \/ AIDS, such as ritonavir<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you start or stop taking these medicines, you may need another\u00a0dose\u00a0of\u00a0risperidone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are not sure if any of the above applies to you, talk to your doctor or pharmacist before using Rispemyl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rice millet with alcohol<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You should avoid drinking alcohol when using Rispemyl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and fertility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The following symptoms may occur in newborns of mothers who have used Rispemyl during the last trimester (the last three months of pregnancy): tremors, muscle stiffness and\/or weakness, fatigue, anxiety, difficulty breathing, and feeding problems.\u00a0If your child has any of these symptoms, you may need to contact your doctor.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine.\u00a0Your doctor will decide if you can take it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rispemyl may increase your levels of a&nbsp;hormone&nbsp;called \u201cprolactin\u201d which may affect the&nbsp;fertility&nbsp;of both female and male patients (see section 4 \u201cPossible side effects\u201d).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Driving and using machines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dizziness, fatigue, and vision problems may occur during treatment with Rispemyl.\u00a0Do not drive or use any tools or machines without first talking to your doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You are responsible for assessing whether you are fit to drive a motor vehicle or perform work that requires sharpened attention.\u00a0One of the factors that can affect your ability in these respects is the use of drugs due to their effects and\/or\u00a0side effects.\u00a0Descriptions of these effects and\u00a0side effects\u00a0can be found in other sections.\u00a0Read all the information in this leaflet for guidance.\u00a0If you are not sure, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rice powder contains
