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.

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.

Product is fine and authentic. Delivery took a day longer than the slot I picked.
Good value for the pack size. I compared prices across three sites before ordering.
