Is The Risperidone Dosage Variation Harmful?
my grandchild has been given a prescription for 1 mg risperidone. he was previously on .25 mg risperidone. His parent has been giving him X3 .25 mg instead of having the 1 mg prescription filled. This worries me. Can this harm him or cause side affects ? Is this correct ?
