Risperdal man boobsThere are people who dress up food to ensure that those pictures on the packaging and cereal boxes look great even after hours of taking photographs. A little secret: instead of milk, they use glue because it does not make the cereal soggy and has a better color.

Another odd possibility? The chance that a chain of causation exists between the lesser-known use of artificial dyes and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). It matters a great deal because of the potential for disfigurement caused by one treatment and its links to Risperdal man boob side effects. Risperdal is also known as risperidone.

A number of studies have suggested that there is some correlation between artificial food coloring and an increase in ADHD in children. What is unclear without future research is the number of young boys who respond to the chemicals in an adverse fashion. At least one paper indicates that even if the food dyes have less impact on children than promoting symptoms that exist the amount of artificial chemicals has increased many times over the decades, a fact not lost on Risperdal class action attorneys.

Most doctors in recent years have used various stimulants as a way to control ADHD, but in 2006 the idea of using sedating drugs, such as atypical antipsychotics, was strong enough for the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) to approve the use of risperidone for the condition. However, as many people are finding out, there are significant changes that occur with such a powerful drug. Hormone levels linked to the opposite sex, like estrogen for boys, are increased substantially. That, along with elevated prolactin levels, can lead to Risperdal man boob side effects.

Families should consider these issues, especially at the time of adolescence when a young person’s body is going through significant changes. Risperdal class action attorneys often argue that treatment options should come with a full discussion of any potential problems. Risperidone has shown promise, but the rate of breast tissue growth is a significant concern given the possibility that it may be irreversible.

In general, Risperdal lawsuits are filed individually by each plaintiff and are not class actions.
