Description
Sizodon 4 mg is an atypical antipsychotic medication containing Risperidone, manufactured by Sun Pharmaceutical (Bangladesh) Ltd. It is primarily used to treat psychiatric conditions such as schizophrenia, mania associated with bipolar disorder, and aggressive behaviors in individuals with autism spectrum disorder. Risperidone works by modulating the activity of neurotransmitters in the brain, particularly by blocking dopamine D₂ and serotonin 5-HT₂ receptors, which helps alleviate symptoms like delusions, hallucinations, and mood disturbances. The typical starting dose is 2 mg per day, which may be adjusted based on the individual's response and tolerability. Elderly patients or those with hepatic or renal impairments may require lower initial doses. Common side effects include drowsiness, dizziness, weight gain, and gastrointestinal disturbances. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and consult a healthcare provider for proper management and monitoring during treatment.
