Studies in the Area of Pharmacopsychiatry Reported from University of Sousse (Risperidone-induced Leukoneutropenia: Evidence From a Positive Rechallenge and Review of the Literature).

A report from the University of Sousse in Tunisia discusses the potential hematologic adverse effects of the antipsychotic medication risperidone. While these side effects are relatively rare, it is important to note that they can have life-threatening consequences. The research suggests that the reporting of hematologic disorders may be more frequent with another antipsychotic medication called clozapine, which requires regular hematological monitoring. This information is valuable for individuals taking risperidone or other antipsychotics, as it highlights the importance of monitoring for potential adverse effects. [Extracted from the article]
