We are all made different. Some of us are luckier than others for having better health. When we become ill, prescription drugs are what we depend upon to make us feel better. Side effects and allergy to the medicine do not cross our mind. However, some side effects do not manifest until much later and by then irreversible damage would have resulted.
Take Topamax, for instance. Topamax is an anti-convulsant used to treat epileptic seizures in children and adults. It is also prescribed to prevent migraine headaches. What most of us do not know is that Topamax can result in cleft lip or cleft palate, a birth defect that occurs when the lip or palate fail to completely fuse together. 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. To get this defect corrected would involve surgical procedures.
Attorneys at O’Hanlon, McCollom & Demerath understand that your child’s injuries may not be your fault – but possibly due to a dangerous side effect of Topamax. When it comes to the most complex products liability claims including the Topamax class action lawsuit, their expertise and experience make them uniquely well-equipped to handle them.
