What Is Risperdal — and Why Are Lawsuits Being Filed?

Risperdal (risperidone) is a medication manufactured by Janssen Pharmaceuticals, a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson. Doctors prescribe it for conditions like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and certain behavioral issues. Sometimes, it’s given for other reasons—even to children. Studies show that Risperdal can increase prolactin levels, a hormone that stimulates breast tissue growth. High prolactin (hyperprolactinemia) can lead to unusual breast changes and may raise the risk of breast cancer.

Johnson & Johnson has already paid more than $2.2 billion to people harmed by Risperdal’s side effects and marketing. Thousands have filed lawsuits—and many have received meaningful compensation.

If you took Risperdal and were later diagnosed with breast cancer or related health problems, you may have options. We can help you find out what’s possible for your situation.

Potential Side Effects in Women

• Breast Cancer — especially hormone-related cancers tied to elevated prolactin
• Hyperprolactinemia — abnormally high prolactin levels
• Abnormal Breast Growth — unexpected enlargement or tissue changes
• Benign Breast Tumors — such as fibroadenomas
• Galactorrhea — unexplained breast discharge
• Hormonal Disruptions — irregular periods, infertility, or endocrine issues
