ā€œJanssen Accused of Withholding Data on Risperdal Side Effect in Autismā€

MedPageToday reports that Janssen Pharmaceuticals omitted data from a 2003 study that connected Risperdal with serious side effects. Janssen was previously sued by the FDA for marketing Risperdal for off-label uses and settled for $2.2 billion in 2013. Earlier this year, a man with autism was awarded $2.5 million after growing breasts while on Risperdal. According to MedPage, documents from this latest case reveal missing data tables from a 2003 study ā€œdesigned to ferret out potential adverse effects of long-term risperidone use.ā€ The missing tables were related to elevated prolactin levels and side effects, including gynecomastia in men.
