CONTENTS OF THE PACK AND OTHER INFORMATION
1 WHAT RISPERDAL IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Risperdal belongs to a group of medicines called
‘antipsychotics’.
Risperdal is used to treat the following:
• Schizophrenia, where you may see, hear or feel
things that are not there, believe things that are not
true or feel unusually suspicious, or confused
• Mania, where you may feel very excited, elated,
agitated, enthusiastic or hyperactive. Mania occurs
in an illness called “bipolar disorder”
• Short-term treatment (up to 6 weeks) of long-term
aggression in people with Alzheimer’s dementia,
who harm themselves or others. Alternative (non-drug)
treatments should have been used previously
• Short-term treatment (up to 6 weeks) of long-term

Risperdal can help alleviate the symptoms of your
