How much is risperidone without Insurance in the US?

Our website gives two competitive savings options to US customers who wish to purchase risperidone, as either a brand or generic, if available. The first is access to medications through our mail-order online pharmacy. The second is by using the Now Patient Rx Advantage Card, which can be used in over 65,000 pharmacies nationwide, across America. If you are insured, then in most cases, the cash price will be significantly cheaper than the copay.

What will my out-of-pocket cost be for risperidone in the US?

There are no out-of-pocket (OOP) costs because we are currently only offering a cash-based option to purchase medications.

In the future, our plan is to be able to handle commercial insurance, Medicare and Medicaid including cases where you have multiple health plans that provide benefit coverage (e.g. Medicaid and Commercial). We also anticipate being able to handle more complex scenarios such as using primary insurance combined with a manufacturer copay assistance program.

You can also call 800-222-1222 to reach the American Association of Poison Control Centers or use its online resource if you think you’ve used too much risperidone. But if you have severe symptoms, call 911 (or your local emergency number) immediately or go to the nearest emergency room.

UK FlagUK

If you think it is an emergency, call 999 or find your nearest A&E
If you need help now, but it’s not an emergency go to 111.nhs.uk or call 111. Alternatively you can speak to one of our pharmacists or use the Now Patient app to make an appointment with your GP.

What should I do if I miss my dose?

Prescription requirement for risperidone

Risperidone is a prescription medication and requires a prescription from a healthcare provider.

Active ingredient of risperidone and mechanism of action

Risperidone is an atypical antipsychotic medication. Its exact mechanism of action is not fully understood, but it is thought to work by blocking the activity of certain neurotransmitters in the brain, including dopamine and serotonin. By modulating the activity of these neurotransmitters, risperidone helps to regulate the communication between brain cells and improve symptoms of psychosis.

Uses of risperidone

Risperidone is primarily used in the treatment of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. It can help to manage symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions, and disorganized thinking. It may also be used off-label for other conditions, such as certain behavioral disturbances in individuals with autism spectrum disorder.

Forms of risperidone

Risperidone is available in different forms, including oral tablets, orally disintegrating tablets, and long-acting injection (Risperdal Consta). The choice of form will depend on the individual’s needs and the prescribing healthcare provider’s recommendations.

Dosage of risperidone

The dose of risperidone will vary depending on the specific condition being treated, the severity of symptoms, and the individual’s response to the medication. It is important to follow the dosage instructions provided by your healthcare provider. If you forget to take a dose, take the missed dose as soon as you can. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and take your next dose at the usual time.

Precautions and warnings for risperidone

  • Risperidone may cause various side effects, including drowsiness, dizziness, weight gain, and changes in blood sugar levels. It may also increase the risk of certain movement disorders, such as extrapyramidal symptoms
  • It is important to inform your healthcare provider about any other medications you are taking, as they may interact with risperidone and affect its effectiveness or increase the risk of side effects
  • Risperidone should be used with caution in individuals with certain medical conditions, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and liver or kidney impairment
  • Abrupt discontinuation of risperidone should be avoided, as it may lead to withdrawal symptoms or a recurrence of symptoms
  • Tell your doctor if you have had an allergic reaction to paliperidone, Alzheimer disease, heart rhythm problems, hypotension (low blood pressure), breast cancer (prolactin-dependent) high blood sugar, neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS), Parkinson disease, priapism, kidney disease, or liver disease
  • Risperidone passes into breast milk. Speak to your doctor before breast-feeding

Side effects of risperidone

Common side effects of risperidone may include drowsiness, dizziness, lightheadedness, constipation, dry mouth, increased appetite, and weight gain. It may also cause more serious side effects, such as muscle stiffness, tardive dyskinesia, neuroleptic malignant syndrome (a potentially life-threatening condition), and an increased risk of stroke in elderly patients with dementia-related psychosis. It is important to report any concerning or persistent adverse effects to your healthcare provider. Get medical help right away if you have a serious allergic reaction. Symptoms include hives, trouble breathing, shortness of breath, chest pain, swelling of the face, tongue or throat (angioedema), skin rash, and severe skin reactions. Promptly report any adverse effects to a healthcare professional for medical advice.

Interactions with other drugs

Risperidone can interact with other medications, including certain antidepressants, carbamazepine, clozapine, dopamine agonists, fluoxetine, paroxetine, quinidine, sedatives, and valproic acid. It is important to inform your healthcare provider about all the prescription drugs, over the counter nonprescription medication, supplements, and vitamins you are taking to avoid potential drug interactions.
