Horst, there are 2 separate entries of Risperdal. One is for Schizophrenia (5 repeats), but for Dementia only 2 repeats. Also for Dementia only 0.5mg & 1mg are listed. 2mg only listed for Schizophrenia. Because I update my drug database monthly (live update), my PBS indications are at my fingertips.

Looks like there might have been a more recent update. Thought my computer MIMS might be wrong, go straight to the source: http://pbs.gov.au/html/healthpro/search/results?term=Risperdal&publication=G E Nope, still just Schizophrenia or undersome circumstamces bipolar disorder, just the same restrictions as for Olanzapine Am I just too stupid to find the right section in the PBS publication?
