"Rispolept": reviews. "Rispolept": application, description, side effects

The drug "Rispolept" is used to treat schizophrenia, bipolar affective disorder and irritability caused by autism. It is not recommended to use an agent to treat behavioral disorders in the elderly if these disorders are associated with dementia.

The drug is dispensed from pharmacies only on prescription.

After obtaining an official permission to sell a drug designed to fight a particular pathology, new unforeseen effects of the drug are often revealed. Although this information is not specified in the instructions for the use of medications, in some cases, doctors consider it necessary to prescribe a drug for the treatment of other diseases not listed in the annotation. So, most often doctors prescribe "Rispolept" for autism; Reviews of specialists, however, suggest that sometimes the drug is used for Tourette's disease - a congenital pathology that combines vocalisms and multiple motor tics.

Forms

The drug is available in the following forms:

• pills;
• lozenges;
• solution.

Application Features

Before using any medication it is necessary to consciously and seriously approach the correlation of risks and positive effects of the drug. The decision to take the medication is taken not only by the doctor - the patient has the right to refuse the prescribed treatment, including the taking of the drug "Rispoleptus Konsta". Reviews about this drug are quite numerous and contradictory. Before starting therapy, you should take into account some of the nuances of the drug.

Allergies

It is necessary to inform the doctor about the presence of an allergic or other unusual reaction to any medication. In addition, the specialist should know about your intolerance to certain foods, paints, preservatives, animal wool.

Pediatrics

Some questions of the effectiveness of the drug have not yet been studied. So, there is no reliable information about the effect of the analyzed medication on the condition of children diagnosed with schizophrenia, young people under the age of thirteen, and also small patients under the age of ten, diagnosed with bipolar affective disorder. In addition, until the age of five, Rispolept is not prescribed to children with autism. The doctors' comments about the non-systemic use of the drug are not systematized at the moment, there are no data on the results of clinical trials. This means that the efficacy and safety of the drug has not been studied in this age group.

Elderly age

Although detailed information about the effects of the drug on the condition of elderly patients does not exist yet, Rispolept is often prescribed to representatives of the older generation. Nevertheless, it should be borne in mind that older people often suffer from age-related health problems, such as diseases of the cardiovascular system, liver or kidneys. If the patient suffers from such ailments, the dose of the drug should be appropriately modified to ensure the safety of the treatment of mental disorders. It is worth mentioning once again that doctors and patients leave rather negative reviews about attempts to treat the disorders of behavior caused by senile dementia by the medicine we are treating. "Rispolept", as a rule, is not assigned and is not used in these cases.

Pregnancy

"Rispolept" is not used in pregnancy, because as a result of experiments on animals, the reverse effect of the drug was revealed, and corresponding studies of its effect on the body of pregnant women were not conducted.

Lactation

There is no reliable data on the dangers of using the medication during breastfeeding. The woman and the doctor must decide on their own, based on the potential benefits and undesirable consequences of the use of the medication: the feedback from Rispolept gets ambiguous, and third-party opinions can not be the basis for such an important decision.

Interaction with other drugs

Although some medicines are not allowed to be taken at the same time, if necessary, you can drink several drugs at once, even if there is a proven reaction between them. The latter option implies a reduction in the dosage of one of the drugs or the establishment of a schedule for their administration. If you are prescribed one of the drugs from the list below, be sure to notify your doctor. Please note: the proposed list includes only funds with a potentially intense effect and is not complete. Perhaps the doctor will decide to replace one of the drugs in order to avoid a reaction between the components. A list of medicines presenting a potential health hazard with simultaneous admission with Rispolept's medication for autism (expert reviews confirm this information) includes the following names:

• "Amifampridine."
• "Cisapride."
• "Levometadil".
• "Mesoridazine".
• "Metoclopramide."
• "Pimozide."
• "Sparfloxacin".
• "Terfenadin".
• "Ciprazidone."

There is also a list of drugs that are not recommended for simultaneous use with the medication in question: reviews of Rispolept get very inaccurate, and information on the interaction of these medicines does not give a sufficiently clear picture. Nevertheless, in some cases it is necessary to drink both drugs - then the doctor reduces the dosage of one of them. Among such means:

• "Acarbose".
• "Aymalin".
• "Alogliptin".
• "Astemizol."
• "Bupropion."
• "Chlorpromazine".
• "Chlorpropamide."
• "Citalopram."
• "Crysotinib".
• Dabrafenib.
• "Doxepin".
• "Droperidol".
• "Erythromycin".
• "Fluconazole".
• "Fluoxetine."
• "Foscarnet."
• Imipramine.
• "Insulin".
• "Ketoconazole."
• "Metronidazole."
• "Nafarelin."
• Ondansetron.
• "Paroxetine".
• "Pazopanib".
• "Pentamidine."
• "Propaghenon."
• "Tryptorelin."
• "Vandetanib."
• "Vemurafenib".
• "Vinflunin".

If you simultaneously take "Rispolept" and any of the drugs listed in the list below, as pharmacists say, the risk of unwanted side effects increases. Nevertheless, sometimes the combination of these drugs is the most effective method of treatment. Be careful, as not all medicines on the list have adequate reviews. "Rispolept", therefore, is often prescribed concomitantly with one of the following medicines:

• "Carbamazepine".
• "Cimetidine."
• "Itraconazole."
• "Methadone".
• "Phenobarbital."
• "Ranitidine."
• Ritonavir.
• Valproic acid.

Application of the drug in the form of a solution

Eating and drinking do not affect the action of the drug Rispolept. Reviews solution and tablets are approximately similar, regardless of the order, time and content of meals.

When applying the solution:

• Drink the solution immediately or mix it with a drink. Water, coffee, orange juice, low-fat milk are suitable for this purpose.

• Rinse the measuring device (cup or spoon) and wipe dry. Gently close the medicine bottle.

Application of tablets for resorption

When the "Rispolept" is prescribed for children with autism, the testimonies of mothers suggest that it is better to buy tablets for resorption than a solution for ingestion. If your choice has fallen on this particular form of medicine, read the proposed instructions for use:

• Do not open the package until the product is taken directly. To take one tablet, separate it by the perforation lines from the blister.
• Bend the corner of the package as shown on the box with the drug. Carefully separate the foil layer. If the doctor prescribed "Rispolept" to children, the feedback on the forums will tell you: in no case should the child be allowed to push the tablet through the foil, since such treatment of the drug may damage the integrity of the dose.
• Take the tablet out of the package with dry hands and immediately put it on the tongue. The dose of the medicine taken out of the package is not subject to storage.
• Specialists often appoint "Rispolept" to children. The testimonies indicate that the tablets almost instantly dissolve in the mouth.
• You can swallow a dose of the drug by washing it with water or any other liquid from the approved list (see above). Do not split or chew the tablet.
