What risks can risperidone exposure during the third trimester pose to newborns?

Third-trimester exposure to risperidone (Risperdal Consta) puts newborns at risk of extrapyramidal and/or withdrawal symptoms of varying severity and duration after delivery, including agitation, hypertonia, hypotonia, tremor, somnolence, respiratory distress or feeding disorder, so newborns should be monitored carefully.
