Zofran® Attorneys
Birth Defect Risks & Zofran®
If you took Zofran® (ondansetron) while pregnant and your child was born with a birth defect, CR Legal Team can help. Our Zofran attorneys are currently investigating cases involving birth injuries and the popular anti-nausea medication, pursuing compensation to help families with medical bills and other losses. We are here to help you through life’s most difficult moments.
Although Zofran® was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat nausea and vomiting in patients undergoing cancer treatment or surgery, it has been prescribed for other, off-label purposes. One of these is the treatment of morning sickness in pregnant women.
Zofran® has since been linked to serious birth injuries and defects. This is not surprising when you consider the developing fetus is most vulnerable during the first trimester of pregnancy – which is when most cases of morning sickness occur.
Since Zofran® has been prescribed to treat morning sickness, the FDA has received reports of:
- Cleft lip
- Cleft palate
- Heart defects
- Kidney problems
Zofran® manufacturer GlaxoSmithKline paid a $3 billion settlement in 2012 after the U.S. Department of Justice determined that the company was marketing Zofran® and other drugs for off-label purposes.
