The man who claims that he grew Breasts after taking the drug Risperdal, has filed a lawsuit against the company Johnson & Johnson for what she didn’t include this side effect on medication.
26-year-old Eddie Bible from Oklahoma said that he was granted Risperdal for the treatment of anxiety and bipolar disorder in 13 years. But, according to him, he would think twice whether to take the drug if I knew what side effect that can give.
Johnson & Johnson noted a rare disease known as gynecomastia, as one of the potential side effects of Risperdal. In late 1993, Management on sanitary inspection behind quality of foodstuff and medicines of the USA approved drug for the treatment of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, but in 2014, the controversial drug was withdrawn from the market.
Bible is one of dozens, if not thousands of men who have filed lawsuits against Johnson & Johnson.
According to the man, eighteen months after the start of use of medicine, his chest was more than in high school, he even pondered whether to wear a training bra.
On Tuesday a similar case was heard by the Grand jury of Philadelphia, and plaintiff Nicholas Murray was awarded compensation of $8 billion. However, lawyers say that upon appeal to this exorbitant amount will be significantly reduced.
However, according to Professor Carl Tobias from the law faculty of the University of Richmond, the verdict may be a sign that J & J will face major new compensation in cases of Risperdal.
