1. Risperdal – Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorder Drug
via newyorkgynecomastia.com
Developed to help treat schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, Risperdal was also used to reduce aggressive behavior in autistic children. It works by blocking certain dopamine receptors in the brain. Approved by the FDA in 1994, it’s also sold under the name Ivenga.
Risperdal was primarily targeted at parents of teens with schizophrenia but some of its recorded side effects include diabetes, weight gain, increased chance of stroke and gynaecomastia in young men.
According to lawsuits against Johnson & Johnson, Risperdal hadn’t been approved for use in children, when it was being prescribed. The lawsuits also allege that the company incentivized doctors to get them to prescribe the drug.
Though Johnson & Johnson deny all accusations, they paid out $181 million in 2012 and $5.9 million in 2014. The company also paid out $2.2 billion to settle investigation into their illegal promotion of the drug.
What do you think now? All these are everyday drugs that people take, hoping for a cure, but by concealing the effects, many of them are making patients much worse.
