What Is Risperdal — and Why Are Lawsuits Being Filed?

Risperdal (risperidone) is an antipsychotic medication made by Janssen Pharmaceuticals, part of Johnson & Johnson. Doctors often prescribe it for schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and some behavioral issues. It’s also sometimes used for other conditions, even in children and teens.

Research has shown that Risperdal can raise levels of prolactin, a hormone that causes breast tissue to grow. High prolactin (called hyperprolactinemia) has been linked to abnormal breast changes and may increase the risk of breast cancer.

Johnson & Johnson has already paid more than $2.2 billion to settle claims about Risperdal’s side effects and how it was marketed. Thousands of women have filed lawsuits—and many have received substantial compensation.

If you took Risperdal and later developed breast cancer or related health problems, you may have legal options.

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

Do You Qualify for a Lawsuit?

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