Have You or a Loved One Developed Breast Cancer After Taking Risperdal?

Have You or a Loved One Developed Breast Cancer After Taking Risperdal?

If you are a woman who has been diagnosed with breast cancer following long-term use of Risperdal (risperidone), you may be entitled to compensation. Risperdal, manufactured by Janssen Pharmaceuticals (a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson), is an antipsychotic medication commonly prescribed for conditions like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and irritability associated with autism.


Recent studies have linked prolonged use of Risperdal to elevated prolactin levels (hyperprolactinemia), which can increase the risk of breast cancer by up to 62% in some cases. Lawsuits allege that the manufacturers failed to adequately warn patients and healthcare providers about this serious risk.



Our team of experienced nationwide injury lawyers at the Risperdal Lawsuit Help Center are dedicated to helping women like you seek justice and financial recovery for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more.

Understanding the Link Between Risperdal and Breast Cancer

Risperdal works by altering brain chemicals, but it can also cause the body to produce excessive prolactin, a hormone that stimulates breast tissue growth and milk production. In women, chronically high prolactin levels have been associated with an increased risk of developing breast cancer.



  • A 2022 study of over 540,000 women found a 35% higher breast cancer risk for those taking antipsychotic drugs, with Category 1 drugs like Risperdal showing a 62% increase.
  • Another study indicated a 47% increased risk after 5+ years of exposure to prolactin-elevating antipsychotics.
  • Lawsuits claim Johnson & Johnson concealed evidence of these risks for decades.



If you've taken Risperdal for an extended period and were later diagnosed with breast cancer, you may have a valid claim.
