(EMAILWIRE.COM, April 13, 2011 ) New York, NY – The Topamax birth defect lawyers working with Class Action.org are available to review claims from women who took Topamax or the generic topiramate during pregnancy and delivered a child with a cleft lip or cleft palate. Due to a recent FDA announcement regarding Topamax birth defects, the attorneys working with the site are providing a free case review to help women determine their eligibility for a Topamax lawsuit. If you delivered a child with a Topamax birth defect, visit http://www.classaction.org/topamax.html and complete the free case evaluation form to find out if you can file a claim to recover compensation for medical bills and other damages.
Data from the North American Antiepileptic Drug Pregnancy Registry revealed that 1.4% of infants exposed to topiramate or Topamax during pregnancy were born with cleft palates or lips, compared to .38 to .55% of infants exposed to other antiepileptic drugs during pregnancy. The FDA cited this information when it released a Topamax birth defects safety announcement on March 4. Due to the increased risk of Topamax birth defects, the agency reclassified the drug into Pregnancy category D, indicating that the medication has the potential to harm a fetus based on human research, but its benefits from use in pregnant women may still be acceptable in certain circumstances.
If you delivered a child with a Topamax birth defect, you may have legal recourse in light of this information. Visit Class Action.org today to learn more about the legal issues surrounding Topamax birth defects and to receive a free evaluation of your claim.
