It was indeed a long day of reviewing and it really hurts my head to continue further. But, it is too early to sleep that’s why I decided to surf the web to kill time. It is then, I found a little bit information about Topamax lawsuit.
Basically, Topamax is an anti-convulsant used to treat epileptic seizures in children and adults. This product has been in the market since 1996. Then, in 2004 the FDA approved Topamax for an additional use of treating migraines. Since then, it has become one of the most widely prescribed migraine medications in the United States. The drug is also often prescribed off-label to treat bipolar disorder.
However, only this March of 2011 the FDA issued warning against its side-effect. Pregnant women using this product increase the increase the risk of oral cleft birth defects, such as cleft lip and cleft palate. The defect can result in a small, notched lip or in extreme cases, an open groove that extends from the roof of the mouth to the nose. From this, Topamax lawsuit was born.
In such cases, the O’Hanlon, McCollom & Demerath law office can be of great help. Their attorneys understand that the child’s injuries may not be the mother’s fault – instead, possibly a dangerous side-effect of Topamax. Their expertise and experience, combined with their highly trained staff, make them uniquely well-equipped to handle even the most complex products liability claims.
