About Risdone Liquid

Risdone Liquid belongs to the group of medicines called 'antipsychotics' used to treat schizophrenia. It is also used alone or in combination with other medicines to treat mania or mixed episodes (mania and depression) in adults and children above 10 years with bipolar disorder.
