Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
When Should Be Risperdone Administered Along With Other Medications For Dementia?
My wife is being treated for Dementia with Namenda,. Risperdone, Excelon patch and Ativan for anxiety. When should the Risperdone be administered? I am presently giving the Nameda, risperdone at bedtime and applying the Excelom patch and Adivan in the morning, is this the proper time for giving these drugs?
Risperidone can be given at bedtime. Most patients tolerate the bedtime dose of the drug well. Hence night time dose can be continued along with other drugs.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Saranya Ramadoss, General & Family Physician
