Risperdal is a drug that has been surrounded by controversy.
TACA founder Lisa Ackerman talks about the recent 2 billion dollar
fine against Johnson & Johnson involving fraudulent claims
around 3 drugs, one of them Risperdal. While the fine had to
do with Risperdal in seniors, it still raises questions about the
drug being used in children and young adults to treat Autism.
This discussion includes some of the known side effects of
Risperdal, including the potential development of lactating breasts
in boys and men. Parents are urged to look at all of their
options before deciding to put their children on this and other
psychotropic drugs to treat Autism.
