risperdal

Risperdal , manufactured by Johnson & Johnson’s antipsychotic drugs, is linked to serious side effects like breast development in boys (called gynecomastia) and movement disorders such as tardive dyskinesia. J&J paid the government millions for improperly marketing Risperdal, and now it faces lawsuits filed by patients. If your child took Risperdal and experienced breast growth before the age of 21, you may be entitled to financial compensation for the pain and suffering endured.

Risperdal has endured harsh criticism for marketing treatment in children before 2007 when FDA finally approved the drug for treatment.

About the RisperdalLawsuit

Not only did these boys sustain a lasting psychological and physical trauma with gynecomastia, they also experienced an emotional toll of the disease the drug promised to treat. In more serious cases young boys were required to have extensive breast reduction surgery to removed the excessive breast growth, making compensation from the manufacturer extremely important. Many families affected by the antipsychotic medication have come forward to file claims against J&J in the Risperdal lawsuit in hopes of getting compensation for their expenses, physical and emotional trauma. If your son experienced breast growth after taking Risperdal before the age of 21 it’s important that you have your case reviewed by an attorney, Tad Morlan can help.
