Risperidone is a widely used second-generation antipsychotic for schizophrenia management. When prescribing risperidone, it’s crucial for clinicians to understand its dose-response curve to balance efficacy with potential side effects.

A dose-response curve illustrates the relationship between the dose of a medication and the magnitude of its therapeutic or adverse effects. For antipsychotics like risperidone, the goal is to identify the "optimal dose"—a dose that maximizes symptom control while minimizing side effects.

This video is part of our second CME course on "Guide to Understanding & Managing Schizophrenia", offering 7.75 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits. If you’re a medical professional looking to enhance your knowledge with evidence-based, clinically relevant material, I encourage you to enroll in the course. It’s designed to provide practical insights for improving patient outcomes in everyday clinical practice.
