Mode of Action

How Does It Work?

Respidon 1 mg Tablet contains risperidone that belongs to the class of atypical antipsychotics. Respidon 1 mg brings changes in the levels of certain chemicals in the brain that are responsible for pleasure, thinking, and motivation. These chemicals transmit messages between the cells in the brain. Through its different levels of binding to different chemical sites in the brain, Respidon brings improvement in the positive symptoms of schizophrenia such as illogical behaviour and seeing or hearing things that are not there. Through its balancing action on the chemical secretions in the brain, it reduces the negative symptoms of schizophrenia such as social withdrawal, lack of interest, and motivation.
