clozapine vs risperdal a treatment for schizophrenia

 Clozapine is a drug used for schizophrenia patients when no medicine is being effective in the treatment of those patients diagnosed with schizophrenia. Clozapine requires a lot of blood tests before it can be used. Clozapine also has a lot of side effects like causing type 2 diabetes by increasing the blood sugar levels.

Also clozapine causes tiredness, muscle weakness and causes white blood cells to increase in this way may even cause cancer in patients. Also clozapine causes un necessary drooling in patients.

Risperdal is a much balanced medicine with little life damaging side effects as compared to clozapine. My preferred medicine for schizophrenia is risperdal with no serious life threatening side effects as compared to clozapine.

In the end what I would like to say is that if Risperdal is not effective then only we should use clozapine as as a last resort medicine.
