My husband was taken off a breathing tube after having a critical illness. He was given risperdal. His was getting better the first 2 days and than went down hill high fever, non responsive and when they went to put the breathing tube back in they found a build up of flem in his throat. In my opinion it was the fault of the risperdal and improper mouth care from the caregivers. What is your opinion on reisperdal?Should he have been left on risperdal for 5 days after tube removal?Sorry age 70 years old starting wieght 265 now 230. Height 58 hypertention but under control. all vitals good while in icu
Hi, He can continue Risperdal without many concerns. Nothing much to worry, and his treatment is on the right track. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
