Dosing Modifications

Renal impairment

• SC

  • Not studied, use with caution
  • Prior to initiating treatment, it is recommended that patients be carefully titrated up to at least 3 mg/day or oral risperidone; if patients tolerate 3 mg oral and are psychiatrically stable, consider a 90-mg dose

• PO

  • CrCl <30 mL/min: 0.5 mg q12hr initially; consider longer titration intervals; may be increased by up to 0.5 mg/day PO divided q12hr; dosage increase >1.5 mg q12hr should occur no more frequently than once weekly

  • Titrate with oral risperidone (up to at least 2 mg) before initiating long-acting IM injection
  • Start with oral risperidone 0.5 mg PO BID during first week, which can be increased to 1 mg BID or 2 mg qDay during second week; some patients may require slower titration
  • If a total daily dose of at least 2 mg oral risperidone is well tolerated, administer 25 mg q2Weeks with oral supplementation for 7 days following first injection
  • Alternatively, initiating at a 12.5-mg dose may be appropriate
  • Although not studied in patients with renal impairment, these patients may have reduced risperidone elimination compared to patients with normal renal function

Hepatic impairment

• SC

  • Not studied, use with caution
  • Prior to initiating treatment, it is recommended that patients be carefully titrated up to at least 3 mg/day or oral risperidone; if patients tolerate 3 mg oral and are psychiatrically stable, consider a 90-mg dose

• Child-Pugh 10-15 points (PO)

  • 0.5 mg q12hr initially; consider longer titration intervals; may be increased by up to 0.5 mg/day PO divided q12hr; dosage increase >1.5 mg q12hr should occur no more frequently than once weekly

• Long-acting IM injection (Risperdal Consta, Rykindo)

  • Titrate with oral risperidone (up to at least 2 mg) before initiating long-acting IM injection
  • Start with oral risperidone 0.5 mg PO BID during first week, which can be increased to 1 mg BID or 2 mg qDay during second week; some patients may require slower titration
  • If a total daily dose of at least 2 mg oral risperidone is well tolerated, administer 25 mg q2Weeks with oral supplementation for 7 days following first injection
  • Alternatively, initiating at a 12.5-mg dose may be appropriate
  • Although not studied in patients with hepatic impairment, these patients may have clinically significant increase in the free fraction of risperidone, possibly resulting in an enhanced effect

Patients with Parkinson disease or dementia with Lewy bodies

• Patients with Parkinson disease or dementia with Lewy bodies can experience increased sensitivity to long-acting IM injection
• Manifestations can include confusion, obtundation, postural instability with frequent falls, extrapyramidal symptoms, and clinical features consistent with neuroleptic malignant syndrome

Coadministration with strong CYP2D6 inhibitors

• SC, ER suspension

  • When initiation of a strong CYP2D6 inhibitor (eg, fluoxetine, paroxetine) is considered, patient may be placed on the lowest dose (90 mg) of risperidone ER suspension between 2-4 weeks before the planned start of the CYP2D6 inhibitor to adjust for the expected increase in plasma risperidone concentrations
  • When the CYP2D6 inhibitor is initiated in patients receiving risperidone ER suspension 90 mg, it is recommended to continue treatment with 90 mg unless clinical judgment necessitates interruption of risperidone treatment

• IM, long-acting injectable suspension

  • When initiating or discontinuing a strong CYP2D6 inhibitor (eg, fluoxetine, paroxetine), reduce IM risperidone dose between 2-4 weeks before planned initiation or discontinuation of CYP2D6 inhibitor to adjust for the expected increase in plasma risperidone concentrations
  • When a CYP2D6 inhibitor initiated in patients receiving 25 mg IM of long-acting risperidone suspension, continue with 25 mg unless clinical judgment requires lowering to 12.5 mg IM or interrupting treatment
  • If long-acting IM risperidone suspension is initiated in patients already receiving a strong CYP2D6 inhibitor, consider initiating at 12.5 mg IM; efficacy of the 12.5 mg dose has not been investigated in clinical trials

• PO

  • When a strong CYP2D6 inhibitor (eg, fluoxetine, or paroxetine) is coadministered with oral risperidone, reduce oral risperidone dose; dose should not exceed 8 mg/day in adults when coadministered with these drugs
  • When initiating therapy, titrate oral risperidone slowly If enzyme inhibitor is discontinued, assess risperidone dose and increase if necessary

Coadministration with strong CYP3A4 inducers

• SC, ER injectable suspension

  • At initiation of therapy with CYP3A4 inducers (eg, carbamazepine, phenytoin, rifampin, phenobarbital), closely monitor during the first 4-8 weeks In patients receiving risperidone ER suspension 90 mg, consider increasing the dose to 120 mg
  • In patients receiving risperidone ER suspension 120 mg, consider additional oral risperidone therapy
  • On discontinuation of the strong CYP3A4 inducers, re-evaluated dosage of ER suspension or any additional oral risperidone therapy and if necessary, decreased to adjust for the expected increase in plasma concentration of risperidone
  • For patients treated with risperidone ER 90 mg and discontinuing from a strong CYP3A4 inducer, continue treatment with the 90-mg dose unless clinical judgment necessitates interruption of risperidone ER suspension treatment

• IM, long-acting injectable suspension

  • Coadministration with strong CYP3A4 inducers (eg, carbamazepine, phenytoin, rifampin, phenobarbital) with risperidone would be expected to cause decreases in the plasma concentrations of the sum of risperidone and 9-hydroxyrisperidone combined, which could lead to decreased efficacy of IM risperidone; titrate accordingly for patients receiving these enzyme inducers, especially during initiation or discontinuation of therapy with these inducers
  • At the initiation of therapy with CYP3A4 inducers, patients should be closely monitored during the first 4-8 weeks, since the dose of IM risperidone may need to be adjusted; a dose increase, or additional oral risperidone, may need to be considered
  • If enzyme inducer is discontinued, re-evaluate risperidone dose and decrease if necessary
  • May lower dose of IM risperidone between 2-4 weeks before planned discontinuation CYP3A4 inducers to adjust for expected increase in plasma concentrations of risperidone plus 9-hydroxyrisperidone
  • For patients treated with 25 mg and discontinuing from CYP3A4 inducers, continue treatment with the 25-mg dose unless clinical judgment necessitates lowering dose to 12.5 mg or necessitates interruption of IM risperidone treatment
  • Efficacy of the 12.5 mg dose has not been investigated in clinical trials

• PO

  • Coadministered with enzyme inducers (eg, carbamazepine), the risperidone dose should be increased up to double the patient’s usual dose If enzyme inducer is discontinued, assess risperidone dose and decrease if necessary

Dosing Considerations

For patient who have never taken risperidone, establish tolerability with PO risperidone before initiating the IM or SC dosage forms

Switching from other antipsychotics to IM risperidone (Risperdal Consta only)

• No collected data specifically addresses switching patients from other antipsychotics to IM risperidone or concerning concomitant administration with other antipsychotics
• Continue previous antipsychotics for 3 weeks after the first injection of IM risperidone to maintain therapeutic concentrations until main release phase of risperidone from the injection site has begun
• As recommended with other antipsychotic medications, periodically re-evaluate the need for continuing existing EPS medication

Switching from long-acting IM injection (eg, Risperdal Consta) to another long-acting IM injection (eg, Rykindo)

• Current long-acting IM injection (eg, Rykindo) dose for patients receiving another long-acting IM injection (eg, Risperdal Consta) should be the same as that of the previous Risperdal Consta dose
• Give first injection of Rykindo 4 weeks (no later than 5 weeks) after last Risperdal Consta was administered
• Supplementing with oral risperidone is not recommended
• Do not titrate more frequently than q4Weeks

Reinitiating treatment in patients previously discontinued (Risperdal Consta, Rykindo)

• No data are available
• When restarting after a period off treatment, reinitiate previously established dosage if patient’s general medical condition has not change
• Supplementation with oral risperidone is required
