Wizenflash (1Mg) 10 Tablets

Overview

Wizenflash 1mg 10 Tablets is a prescription medicine containing risperidone, supplied as oral tablets. Risperidone belongs to the antipsychotic class of medicines and is used by doctors for selected mental health and behavioural conditions such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and irritability or severe behavioural symptoms associated with autism where clinically appropriate. This product should be used only after medical assessment because the dose, treatment duration, monitoring needs, and suitability vary from person to person.

Risperidone acts on chemical signalling pathways in the brain, particularly dopamine and serotonin receptors. By helping regulate these pathways, it may reduce symptoms such as hallucinations, disorganised thinking, agitation, mood instability, aggression, or severe irritability in patients for whom a clinician has prescribed it. Wizenflash 1mg is a low-strength tablet, often used where dose titration or lower-dose treatment is required, but the correct dose must always be decided by the prescriber.
