On this episode, I discuss risperidone pharmacology, adverse effects, monitoring, and common indications. There are numerous drug interactions that I discuss in this podcast episode. CYP2D6 inhibitors may increase drug concentrations. Risperidone increases prolactin more than most 2nd generation antipsychotics. This can lead to sexual adverse effects. QTC prolongation is a concern with all antipsychotics like risperidone. We can monitor EKG to monitor for this risk.
