Risperdal and Stroke Like Events

Free Case Review

In addition to other serious health complications, it has been suggested that Risperdal can enhance the likelihood of a patient experiencing stroke-like events. For example, clinical trials testing Risperdal in Alzheimer’s patients noted an increased risk of events such as blood clots or hemorrhages.

In October 2002, a Risperdal warning letter was sent to doctors and pharmacists after reports of 37 Risperdal stroke or stroke-like events like blood clots and hemorrhages occurred, including 16 deaths.

If you feel that you or someone you love suffered a stroke or other cardiovascular event due to Risperdal usage, you are not alone and you have legal options. You may even be entitled to financial reparations to compensate you for your profound pain and suffering.
