Mode of Action of Riswel Ls 2 MG
How Does It Work?
Riswel Ls Tablet contains risperidone and trihexyphenidyl as its active components.
Risperidone belongs to the class of medications called atypical antipsychotics. It acts by increasing dopamine and serotonin activity by blocking their receptors. These are chemical messengers responsible for ability, mood, and cognitive behaviour. By blocking these receptors, the effect of these chemical substances lasts longer, which helps in improving the various symptoms of schizophrenia and other disorders.
Trihexyphenidyl is an anticholinergic agent that blocks the effects of acetylcholine, a natural substance. This helps lower muscle stiffness, sweating, and excess production of saliva. It is added to this medicine to lower involuntary movements due to the side effects of risperidone....
