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.

Fine quality, wrong choice on my part — I should have asked the pharmacist first about the strength.
Works as expected. Took about three weeks to notice a difference, which the product page had already told me to expect.
Effective, but it took closer to two months than the four weeks I was hoping for.
Second time ordering. Batch and expiry were printed clearly and matched what the site listed.

Product is fine and authentic. Delivery took a day longer than the slot I picked.
