Product Details

Buzon Tablets 4mg contains risperidone, an atypical antipsychotic used primarily for the treatment of schizophrenia. The mechanism of action is through the combined antagonism of dopamine Type 2 (D2) and serotonin Type 2 (5HT2) receptors, although other receptor interactions may contribute to its effects.

Purposes

• Treatment of schizophrenia
• Management of symptoms related to psychosis

Ingredients

• Risperidone

How It Works

Risperidone works by blocking dopamine and serotonin receptors, which may help manage symptoms of schizophrenia. The therapeutic effect is due to the combined concentration of risperidone and its major metabolite, 9-hydroxyrisperidone (paliperidone).
