Does your baby have a birth defect?
Our legal team is committed and dedicated to aggressively representing clients that have had children born with birth defects as a result of using certain prescription drugs. Even with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration regulating and monitoring the use of prescription medication, pharmaceutical companies continually urge the use for unauthorized, “off label” indications. Most times, the companies take a indifferent attitude towards the marketing of their medications as long as the “bottom line” looks good.
In addition, inadequate testing and misinformation by the companies may lead to FDA approval, only to later find out the drug was more dangerous than anticipated. The drug manufacturers are solely concerned about corporate profits, and direct marketing to consumers has spawned blockbuster drug sales.
Our law firm is here to represent those that have been taken advantage of by pharmaceutical companies and have them take responsibility for the pain and hardships they may have caused. This website will serve as a resource for drugs that cause birth defects when taken by pregnant women. It will give information about the drug, its effects and links to online resources. SSRIs, medications to treat depression and anxiety disorders, and antiseizure medications have all been associated with a much higher incidence of birth defects, resulting from use by pregnant women.
If you were prescribed anti-depressants while pregnant, you may be entitled to compensation.
But, time is running out. The companies that manufacturer these drugs settle birth defect cases with monetary compensation. Medical care for children victimized by these SSRIs is very high. Don’t be left behind. If your child has birth defects because you took one of the drugs listed on this website, you and your child may qualify for compensation.
For example: The drug company, GlaxoSmithKline, manufacturers Paxil. A long-term epidemiological study suggested an increase in the risk of overall major congenital malformations for Paxil (paroxetine) and Paxil CR compared to other antidepressants. In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration requires this drug to carry a black box warning, its “most serious type of warning in prescription drug labeling. They have already set aside over $1.14 billion dollars to settle lawsuits stemming from use of this drug.
