We presented a case who experienced gingival bleeding when risperidone dose was increased to 0.5 mg/day, and subsided after decreasing the dose to 0.25 mg/day, suggesting a dose-dependent side-effect. The bleeding side effect of risperidone might be caused by several mechanisms, including 5-hydroxytryptamine 2A receptor antagonism. Although bleeding associated with risperidone is rarely reported, clinicians should be aware of this side effect.en10.9758/cpn.2016.14.2.210info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBleedingRisperidoneChildAdverse effectsArticle14221021127121433Q2WOS:000375826100012Q3
