Risdone Forte Tablet is a fixed-dose combination composed of two medicines, Risperidone and Trihexyphenidyl. Risperidone belongs to a group of drugs called atypical antipsychotics. Risperidone decreases dopaminergic and serotonergic activity in the brain, which reduces the symptoms of schizophrenia and mood disorders. Trihexyphenidyl is in a category of medicines called antimuscarinic drugs. It acts on the nervous system and corrects some of the chemical imbalances that cause Parkinson's disease and some side effects that arise during antipsychotic treatment.
