Risperdal Lawyer: Hiring a Risperdal attorney
Every day
prescription drugs like Risperdal come under scrutiny by the media.
For some patients, the hyperglycemia resolved when the Risperdal was
discontinued, but others required continuing treatment for their diabetes even
after they stopped taking the drug.

antipsychotics be monitored regularly for worsening of glucose control.
Patients starting on these drugs who have diabetes risk factors, such as obesity
or a family history of diabetes, should have fasting blood glucose testing at
the start of treatment and periodically thereafter.
