Risperidone therapy in two successive pregnancies.
There is very limited information available on the use of psychotropic drugs in consecutive pregnancies. The authors report a case of a woman with schizophrenia wherein risperidone was used successfully in two consecutive pregnancies. This is only the second known report in the existing literature in which atypical antipsychotic was used successfully in two successive pregnancies.
