DRUG ABUSE AND DEPENDENCE Controlled Substance Class
RISPERDAL ® ( risperidone) is not a controlled substance. Physical and Psychological Dependence Text Continues Below
RISPERDAL ® has not been systematically studied in animals or humans for its potential for abuse, tolerance, or physical dependence. While the clinical trials did not reveal any tendency for any drug-seeking behavior, these observations were not systematic and it is not possible to predict on the basis of this limited experience the extent to which a CNS-active drug will be misused, diverted, and/ or abused once marketed. Consequently, patients should be evaluated carefully for a history of drug abuse, and such patients should be observed closely for signs of RISPERDAL ® misuse or abuse ( e. g. , development of tolerance, increases in dose, drug-seeking behavior) .
