(EMAILWIRE.COM, July 23, 2011 ) New York, NY -- A Topamax lawsuit may be an option for women who took the anti-epileptic and migraine medication during pregnancy and gave birth to a child with a cleft lip or cleft palate. Potentially, a Topamax lawsuit could provide these individuals with an opportunity to seek compensation for medical bills and other damages resulting from their childÂ’s oral cleft. To find out if you may be eligible for a Topamax lawsuit, visit http://www.classaction.org/topamax.html to receive a free, no risk evaluation of your claim.
According to the FDA, women who took Topamax Topamax or the generic topiramate during pregnancy may have an increased risk for delivering a child with an oral cleft. These Topamax birth defects can reportedly include cleft lips and cleft palates, two types of congenital malformations which are caused by incomplete development during the early stages of pregnancy. Topamax clefts may range from a small notch in the lip to a groove which extends into the palate and may cause difficulty eating and talking, as well as ear infections.
Data from the North American Antiepileptic Drug Pregnancy Registry revealed that 1.4% of infants exposed to the drug while in the womb developed a Topamax cleft, compared to .38 to .55% of those exposed to other anti-epileptic medications. As a result of this Topamax birth defects risk, the attorneys working with Class Action.org would like to hear from mothers who took this drug or its generic versions during pregnancy and delivered a child with a cleft lip or cleft palate to determine if a Topamax lawsuit is viable. To find out if you may be able to pursue compensation through a Topamax lawsuit, visit Class Action.org to receive a no cost, no obligation review of your claim. The Topamax lawsuit attorneys working with the site are providing this case review at no charge and remain committed to protecting the rights of women who took the drug during pregnancy and gave birth to children with birth defects.
