We report the case of a 50 year-old lady, who experienced urinary incontinence and diarrhoea, when switching from oral to injectable risperidone, which ceased when discontinuing the drug. Results and conclusions It should be taken into account that some side effects can be revealed when switching from oral to depot formulations due to non-compliance to orals; nevertheless dose-dependent mechanisms and individual metabolic variability must be considered when observing idiosyncratic reactions to drugs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
