Risperdal Lawyers in New Jersey

Risperdal is a medication used to treat bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and autism in adults, young adults and children. The drug is manufactured by a Johnson & Johnson subsidiary: Janssen Pharmaceuticals and was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2007 as the only pharmaceutical product available to treat schizophrenia in teenagers ages 13-17, and bipolar disorder in children and young adults, ages 10-17.

Recently, studies have allegedly linked Risperdal to an increased level of Prolactin in young men and boys. Prolactin is the hormone that stimulates breast growth and triggers milk production in mammals – increased levels of Prolactin can lead to gynecomastia (breast development) in male adolescents. Gynecomastia has far reaching physical and psychological consequences. These consequences are often potentially irreversible and can lead to compounded psychological issues for those already suffering from schizophrenia, autism, or bipolar disorders.
