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 to treat schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and certain behavioral conditions, including use in children and adolescents.

Studies have shown that Risperdal may elevate prolactin levels—a hormone responsible for breast tissue development. Elevated prolactin (hyperprolactinemia) has been associated with abnormal breast changes and may increase the risk of breast cancer.

Johnson & Johnson has paid more than $2.2 billion to resolve claims involving Risperdal’s side effects and marketing practices. Thousands of women have filed lawsuits, with many receiving significant compensation.

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

Potential Side Effects in Women

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

Do You Qualify for a Lawsuit?

You may be eligible if:

• You took Risperdal for any duration or condition
• 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 Colorado’s legal time limits (typically 2 years from diagnosis or discovery)
