Prescription drugs, even though more often than not relieves symptoms or heals a condition, side effects may manifest later. Unfortunately, sometimes, these side effects can be damaging to the patient or to her child she was carrying then. One drug that can have a damaging effect is Topamax.
Topamax is an anti-convulsant used to treat epileptic seizures in children and adults, and is also prescribed to prevent migraine headaches. This drug can result in a cleft lip or a cleft palate which is a birth defect that occurs when the lip or palate fails 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.
