Vepridone 3mg (20 Tablet / Pack)
An atypical antipsychotic tablet used for mood stabilization and managing psychotic disorders.
Vepridone 3mg Tablets contain Risperidone, an atypical antipsychotic agent belonging to the benzisoxazole derivatives. It works by functioning as a selective monoaminergic antagonist with a high affinity for both serotonin type 2 (5-HT2) and dopamine type 2 (D2) receptors. By balancing these neurotransmitters in the brain, it effectively stabilizes mood, reduces hallucinations, and improves disorganized thinking and behavior.
Purpose
Used for the treatment of schizophrenia, bipolar mania, and severe behavioral disturbances.
Ingredients
Risperidone 3mg
