Can antipsychotic drugs such as risperidone harm the liver?

  Most of the currently commonly used antipsychotic drugs are metabolized by the liver, and there may be some risk of adverse effects on liver function, although such liver function abnormalities, if they occur, are in most cases short-term and reversible, and can return to normal after discontinuation of the drug (many of these patients can stop taking the drug under close observation), and cases that actually cause irreversible liver damage are very rare clinically.  The use of antipsychotic drugs such as risperidone should always be used under the guidance of a psychiatrist. If there is no obvious discomfort during the treatment, it is necessary to review regularly during the treatment period, especially in the first six months of treatment, and ask the doctor to make an analysis and deal with the problem in time if it is found. If these indicators are not abnormal, then you do not have to worry about the damage to the liver and so on.
