Mode of Action

How Does It Work?

Neurotransmitters are the body's chemical messengers used to relay messages from neurons to other body parts. Dopamine and serotonin are important neurotransmitters that control our mood, sleep, appetite, memory, motivation, reward, motor functions, arousal, desires, cravings, and decision making. Abnormal functioning of these neurotransmitters leads to symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions, mania, depression, and euphoria. Riscon 1 mg Tablet contains Risperidone. Risperidone controls the abnormal activities of these neurotransmitters and hence controls depression, mania and other related symptoms.
