Adding risperidone to lithium.
General information- Lithium is eliminated by the kidney for about 95%. Changes in the rate of excretion can cause unwanted effects.
- Risperidone is principally metabolized by CYP2D6 to an active metabolite 9-OH-risperidone (paliperidone).
- This combination may have additive side effects[5].
Start risperidone- Start risperidone according to the general dosing advice.
Cave- The concomitant administration of lithium with neuroleptic agents may increase the risk of extrapyramidal reactions and neurotoxicity.
