SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwired - March 31, 2014) - Young men who have been victims of the unexpected side effects of Risperdal, including gynecomastia, now have a voice to represent them. Martin Schmidt of Schmidt National Law Group is representing those who have suffered injury from Risperdal and similar drugs.

When Risperdal was first introduced into the market it was hailed as the solution to a very big problem. Most medications for bi-polar and other psychological disorders were not deemed safe for children. However, Johnson & Johnson, the manufacturer of Risperdal, claimed that this drug would be safe for teenagers to use without the harmful side effects of other medications. Risperdal was subsequently prescribed widely among young people. Unfortunately, the claim that Risperdal had no dangerous side effects proved false, and thousands of young men now face the embarrassing and dangerous issue of gynecomastia or unusual breast development. Martin Schmidt, attorney with the Schmidt National Law Group, is currently taking new Risperdal cases in an effort to fight for the rights of these young victims.

Young men who have been diagnosed with gynecomastia face a medial issue that is not only painful but dangerous. Surgery is often required to remove the excess breast tissue, exposing these young men to infections and other complications. Further, there is often a great deal of psychological distress often associated with many Risperdal cases.

According to Martin Schmidt, "victims of Risperdal or any other defective drug need to stand up for their rights against drug companies. It is important to protect your rights and to seek compensation for your pain, suffering and physical trauma. Without victims who are willing to stand up to big drug companies, these manufacturers will continue to produce defective and dangerous drugs."

Martin Schmidt and the attorneys at the Schmidt National Law Group stand ready to represent victims of this and other defective drugs and to help them fight for their rights against major drug manufacturers whose negligence has caused their distress.
