Risperidone is sold under various brand names worldwide. Knowing these names can be helpful when comparing prices or checking availability.
- Risperdal: This is perhaps the most common brand name, used extensively across many countries. Risperdal Consta: This refers to the long-acting injectable form of risperidone.
However, the specific brand names vary significantly depending on your location. You should always check with your pharmacist or doctor for the locally available options.
Consult your prescription: Your prescription will clearly state the specific name under which your risperidone is dispensed. Check online drug databases: Many countries have online databases listing medications and their brand names. These resources can help you find alternate names. Ask your pharmacist: Your pharmacist is the best resource for information about available formulations and brand names in your area.
Remember that generic versions of risperidone also exist and are usually more affordable. These will list “risperidone” as the active ingredient.
