Resumen:
Autism  (AU)  is  a  serious psychological  childhood disorder.  The main  goal of drug  therapy  is  to  reduce  symptoms  and  improve  life quality  for  children  and  their  families. Risperidone,  an antipsychotic drug, is one of the most used medications but it has numerous side effects. In this work we propose to include risperidone in emulsions enriched in essential fatty acids such as ω3 and ω6 since it has been reported that they can inhibit hepatic metabolism and therefore side effects.
