Hello! This post is about the atypical antipsychotic - Risperidone!
Risperidone is a second-generation antipsychotic that has affinity for D2, 5-HT2A, alpha 1, alpha 2 and H1 receptors.
The mechanism of action of risperidone is not fully understood, current theories focus mainly on its ability to block D2 and 5-HT2A receptors.
Hard time remembering this? I've got a solution!
"Risperidone won't let you rest."
Another mnemonic I use to remember that risperidone is associated with increased motor activity (associated with extrapyramidal side effects)
That's all!
