Topamax Lawyers Continue to Review Birth Defect Claims

The Topamax lawyers at Jonathan Perkins Injury Lawyers are seeking women who have taken the anti-convulsant medication, Topamax, during pregnancy and had a child born with a birth defect. Several studies show that there is a link between Topamax use during pregnancy and birth defects. Parents who have a child with a birth defect after Topamax was used during the pregnancy may be eligible to file a legal claim to seek compensation for medical bills and other damages.

When Topamax was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1996, it was originally used to treat seizures. In 2004, the FDA approved its use to treat chronic migraines. Topamax, and its generic Topiramate, have also been used off-label to treat bipolar disorder, select eating disorders and obsessive compulsive disorder.

Many studies have associated the use of Topamax with birth defects. In March 2011, the FDA warned the public that the use of Topamax during pregnancy may cause birth defects such as a cleft palate and a cleft lip. Some other Topamax birth defects include craniofacial defects, lung and heart defects, limb malformation, neural tube defects and hypospaidas. Topamax birth defects can be severe and life-altering for children and their families.

The Topamax lawyers at Jonathan Perkins Injury Lawyers believe that the manufacturer of the drug failed to adequately warn patients and doctors about the birth defect risks. Jonathan Perkins Injury Lawyers is interested in hearing from parents who used Topamax during pregnancy and gave birth to a child with a birth defect. The Topamax lawyers can advise parents on whether or not they have a legal claim against the drug manufacturer.  For more information on Topamax lawsuits, visit http://www.800perkins.com/topamax-birth-defects.html.
