A medicine called Topamax have been sold in the market since as early as 1996. It has helped a lot of people suffering from migraine and epilepsy. Sadly, things took a different turn when birth defects have been found out to result from Topamax use.

Laboratory tests conducted on animals resulted to deformations on babies of pregnant rats have been found out fourteen years ago. Despite the negative result, it was still continued to be sold in the market. It would have been not a problem if only at least the product has a warning label in order to inform its users on the possible side effects it can give. Now, a lot of people suffered as a result.

Making a child suffer from the complications of having a cleft palate is one of the worse side effects of Topamax. This is for pregnant women who have been taking Topamax. Cleft palate is actually problematic because it can cause speech and eating problems. So, it is not really surprising when the child will be affected with problems with speech and health. There are still other side effects that Topamax can affect it's users such as paresthesia, nausea, anorexia, fatigue, and memory problems. As obvious, the one who will suffer a great deal here is always the Topamax user.

After studies indicating how dangerous Topamax is, a lot of people have wanted to file for a Topamax lawsuit.  This happened after the Food and Drug Administration demanded that the makers of Topamax should update its warning label. With a Topamax lawsuit, one may receive a rightful compensation in relation to whatever suffering he/she has to go through after using the said product. Of course, not every Topamax user is liable to receive compensation from the manufacturer. It must be medically proven how Topamax has affected an individual before one can receive compensation.

According to statistics, Topamax is one of the drugs that have the highest rate of giving fetuses some defects. Since, it is part of the manufacturer's fault why they failed to label their medicine with warnings; it is only right that they should face the consequences. As of now, one of the best things an individual who has been affected with Topamax can do is to consult a Topamax lawyer about a lawsuit. And there is no need to be worry about the money because a consultation can be done for free.
