Paliris 6mg Tablet is an atypical antipsychotic. It works by affecting the levels of chemical messengers (dopamine and serotonin) to improve mood, thoughts and behavior.
Paliperidone, the active, 9-hydroxy metabolite of the atypical atipsychotic, risperidone, exhibits antagonism at both dopamine type 2 and serotonin 2A receptors. Being more hydrophilic than the parent, paliperidone has a different pharmacokinetic profile and is predominantly eliminated unchanged via the renal route.
Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them
