Complications from Risperdal? Here’s What You Need to Know

Every drug that enters the market has some side effects. Doctors make patients aware of them and won’t prescribe medicine that might cause serious harm if there are other alternatives available.

It is the manufacturer’s duty to provide a thorough list of side-effects to doctors so they can warn people of potential problems related to the medicine. Unfortunately, some manufacturers fail to do so and that causes problems. At Risperdal Side Effects, we assist people who have suffered because of this negligence.

What is Risperdal used for?

This drug is an atypical or second-generation antipsychotic. It is used to treat a wide range of mental and behavioral disorders, including:

  • Aggression and irritability displayed by some autistic children
  • Anxiety disorders
  • Bipolar disorder in patients older than 10 years of age
  • ADHD
  • Schizophrenia
  • Insomnia
  • Dementia
  • Depression

It was approved by the FDA in 1993 and has been prescribed to millions of people. Over the years, FDA received hundreds of complaints regarding the side effects of this drug, which showed problems with this medicine weren’t rare or isolated. Anyone who consumes Risperdal regularly is at risk.

What are the Symptoms?

The Side-effects manifest in patients in different ways based on their state of health, age, and other such factors. Young individualsare most likely to experience weight gain, hormonal, physiological, and neurological changes, etc. Adult patients experience high blood sugar, diabetes, problems with motor skills, possibilities of stroke and heart attack, etc.

One of the rarest side effects is Risperdal gynecomastia. Some individuals between the ages of 13 and 25 develop breasts because of a hormone named prolactin. Most of the lawsuits filed against manufacturers involve a patient with gynecomastia because it has along-term impact on their health and lifestyle.
