Hi, my friend is in urgent need of medicine but we cannot find it where we are. Is there a place in Phnom Penh where we can find Risperidone/Risperdal/Risperidon.
It's an anti-psychotic drug for treating mood disorders and I would be very thankful for any help.

This has been asked before by someone I have repeated my answer below:MatiasAndres wrote:Hi, my friend is in urgent need of medicine but we cannot find it where we are. Is there a place in Phnom Penh where we can find Risperidone/Risperdal/Risperidon.

Seeing that Pharmacie de la gare appears closed for renovation you could try Psar Tapang Pharmacy on the junction between 51 st and the road that runs east west, just south of Central Market. Talk to the pharmacist (young female) the assistants are a bit clueless sometimes.
I obviously don't know the age of your friend and I'm sure he is aware of this, but I'll post anyway.
IMPORTANT WARNING: (from Medline Plus)
Studies have shown that older adults with dementia (a brain disorder that affects the ability to remember, think clearly, communicate, and perform daily activities and that may cause changes in mood and personality) who take antipsychotics (medications for mental illness) such as risperidone have an increased risk of death during treatment. Older adults with dementia may also have a greater chance of having a stroke or ministroke during treatment. Tell your doctor and pharmacist if you are taking furosemide (Lasix).
Seroquel (Quetiapine), Zyprexa (Olanzapine) and Abilify (Aripiprazole) may be viable alternatives and worth checking for availability. Obviously needs to check with his GP
Note you could also check with the head receptionist (I think it's the Filipino lady) at Central Hospital (82A, STREET 154, PHNOM PENH,) which is very close to Psar Tapang. She should be able to help.

Nothing but an opinionated tourist. The Pope spends more time in countries than I do ! It is also not my place to comment on a gentleman's dress. A real 23 minute wonder, that obviously knows little about ovens and cooking in Cambodia.
