Topamax Lawsuit Attorneys
The defective drug attorneys at Marcus & Mack are now reviewing cases involving the drug Topamax. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a warning about the epilepsy and migraine drug Topamax due to its increased risk of birth defects. The FDA's Topamax warning came after data recently released showed that women taking the drug while pregnant were 21-times more likely to give birth to a child with cleft lips or cleft palate deformities.
If you were pregnant and took Topamax your child may also suffer from other congenital birth defects, including spina bifida, genital birth defects, limb malformations, hypospadias, persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN), craniofacial defects, heart defects, lung defects, neural tube defects. You may be entitled to compensation, if you were prescribed this drug while pregnant you may be entitled to compensation.
In addition to the FDA's Topamax warning, the FDA also upgraded the drug to its Pregnancy Category D, showing that the drug has a proven risk of causing birth defects and other risks. Because the oral cleft defects associated with Topamax occur early in pregnancy, the FDA also advised women of childbearing age who are taking Topamax to talk with their doctor about alternative treatment options.
