Common adverse effects of risperidone, occurring greater than or equal to 1%, include:[2][3][4]
Rash (oral, adults, 1% to 4%; pediatrics, up to 11% ;
IM, less than 4%)
Hyperprolactinaemia (risperidone is probably the most notorious antipsychotic for causing hyperprolactinaemia via its potent blockade of
D2 receptors expressed on the lactotrophic cells of the pituitary)[5] (oral, adults, less than 1%; pediatrics, 49% to 87% ; IM, less than 4%)
Dose-dependent extrapyramidal side effects such as
dystonia (oral, adult, 3% to 5%; pediatric, 2% to 6% ; IM, adult, less than 4%),
tremor (oral, 2% to 12% ; IM, 3% to 24%) and
Parkinsonism (oral, 6% to 28% ; IM, 8% to 15%)
