What Is Risperdal — and Why Are Lawsuits Being Filed?

Risperdal is an antipsychotic medication developed by Janssen Pharmaceuticals, a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson. It is commonly prescribed for conditions such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and certain behavioral disorders, including use in children and adolescents.

Research has shown that Risperdal can significantly increase prolactin levels, a hormone responsible for breast tissue development. Elevated prolactin (hyperprolactinemia) has been linked to abnormal breast changes and may increase the risk of breast cancer.

Johnson & Johnson has already paid over $2.2 billion to resolve claims related to Risperdal’s side effects and marketing practices. Thousands of women have filed lawsuits, with many receiving substantial settlements.

If you developed breast cancer after taking Risperdal, you may have legal options.

Potential Side Effects in Women

• Breast cancer, particularly hormone-related cancers
• Hyperprolactinemia (elevated prolactin levels)
• Abnormal breast growth or tissue changes
• Benign breast tumors (e.g., fibroadenomas)
• Galactorrhea (unexpected breast discharge)
• Hormonal imbalances (irregular periods, infertility, endocrine issues)

Do You Qualify for a Lawsuit?

You may be eligible if:

• You took Risperdal for any condition or duration
• You are female or were assigned female at birth
• You were diagnosed with breast cancer or a related condition after use
• Your claim falls within Ohio’s legal time limits (typically 2 years from diagnosis or discovery)
