What it is used for: Schizophrenia.
Indications as listed by the manufacturer: It (risperidone) is indicated for the treatment of schizophrenia.
How it works: The mechanism of action of risperidone in schizophrenia is unclear. The drug’s therapeutic activity in schizophrenia could be mediated through a combination of dopamine Type 2 (D2) and serotonin Type 2 (5HT2) receptor antagonism. The clinical effect from risperidone results from the combined concentrations of risperidone and its major metabolite, 9-hydroxyrisperidone (paliperidone). Antagonism at receptors other than D2 and 5HT2 may explain some of the other effects of risperidone.

Genuine product, sealed and well within expiry. Delivery reached Lahore the next day.
Been using this for a few months now. Ordering here is cheaper than my local shop and the packing is always careful.
Arrived in a plain bag, nothing written on the outside. Good for something you would rather not advertise.
The product is genuine but did not suit me personally. Customer service handled the return without any argument.
Fine quality, wrong choice on my part — I should have asked the pharmacist first about the strength.

No issues with the item itself. I would have liked a cold pack for the summer heat.
