Johnson & Johnson is being accused of having hid three studies linking diabetes to their anti-psychotic drug risperdal:
Johnson & Johnson officials hid three studies showing some patients using Risperdal developed diabetes while claiming the antipsychotic drug didn’t cause the disease, a witness testified.
According to the Bloomberg article, as early as 1999 J&J had done studies showing that about half of its subjects developed diabetes after a year of taking the medication. The ongoing lawsuit further alleges that “salespeople were telling doctors that researchers concluded the drug didn’t cause the disease.”
