Title: Risperidone-Induced Neutropenia in a Schizophrenic Patient: A Case Report and Literature Review. Cord-id: 2e2z8ehp Document date: 2021_1_1
ID: 2e2z8ehp
Snippet: Neutropenia is an adverse effect of various pharmacological therapies, including antipsychotics. Among the second-generation antipsychotic (SGA) medications, clozapine is most notable for neutropenic adverse effect. Risperidone, another SGA drug, is linked mainly with metabolic adverse effects, but rarely, blood dyscrasia adverse reactions have been reported. Hence, we report the case of a 56-year-old African American woman who developed severe neutropenia following two weeks of oral risperidone

Her neutrophil levels returned to normal limits following discontinuation of risperidone and switching to haloperidol.
