Why Are Risperdal Lawsuits Being Filed?

Risperdal is a prescription antipsychotic medication developed by Janssen Pharmaceuticals, a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson. It has been widely used to treat conditions such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and certain behavioral disorders.

Medical research has found that Risperdal can increase levels of prolactin, a hormone responsible for breast tissue development. Elevated prolactin levels (hyperprolactinemia) have been associated with abnormal breast changes and may contribute to an increased risk of breast cancer.

Johnson & Johnson has paid billions of dollars to resolve claims involving Risperdal’s side effects and marketing practices. Thousands of women have already filed lawsuits, with many securing financial settlements.

If you were diagnosed with breast cancer after taking Risperdal, you may have grounds for a legal claim.

Reported Side Effects in Women

Women who used Risperdal have reported:

• Breast cancer, particularly hormone-related types
• Elevated prolactin levels (hyperprolactinemia)
• Unusual breast growth or physical changes
• Non-cancerous breast tumors, including fibroadenomas
• Unexpected breast discharge (galactorrhea)
• Hormonal imbalances, including menstrual irregularities or infertility

Who May Be Eligible?

You may qualify for a claim if:

• You used Risperdal at any point
• You are female or were assigned female at birth
• You were later diagnosed with breast cancer or a related condition
• Your claim is within Texas’s legal filing deadlines (typically two years from diagnosis or discovery)

Even if you’re unsure, it’s worth getting your case reviewed—many eligible claims go unnoticed.
