The Unwanted Effects Of Antipsychotic Risperdal

Risperdal which is also known as risperidone is used to treat many diseases like anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and as such. It was approved by FDA in 1993 to treat certain diseases, but later certain serious side effects were reported on the consumption of this drug which raised concern among the doctors. Risperdal was even illegally marketed for children despite the lack of approval from FDA.

Some of the serious Risperidone side effects are as follows:


  • Breast development in boys which is also known as gynecomastia
  • Motor problems
  • High blood sugar
  • Diabetes
  • Surgery to remove excess tissues and emotional scarring
  • Stroke
  • Heart attack
  • And even death

These resulted into the filing of hundred of lawsuits against the drug giant Johnson and Johnson. Billions and dollars of settlements to compensation were required to be paid by Janssen pharmaceuticals, a subsidiary of Johnson and Johnson, due to the injuries. More than 420 Risperdal lawsuit were filled among which included about 130 cases of Risperdal gynecomastia complaints.
