Abstract

Background: Antipsychotic medications, particularly risperidone, are widely used in the management of psychotic disorders due to their efficacy and favorable side effect profile compared to typical antipsychotics. However, endocrine and reproductive adverse effects such as hyperprolactinemia are increasingly recog nized, yet often underdiagnosed.

Methodology: The Department of Pharmacology, CMC Ludhiana, is an ADR reporting centre. The case was reported to ADR Centre from the Psychiatry Ward as a part of Pharmacovigilance Elective in MBBS Third Prof Part-1.

Conclusion: Polymenorrhea is a rare but significant adverse effect of risperidone that may impair quality of life and treatment adherence. Routine surveillance and early recognition of endocrine side effects, coupled with interdisciplinary management, are essential for optimizing patient care in psychiatric settings.
