Zofran and Possible Birth Defects
Zofran Users in the New York Area
Omrani & Taub are actively reviewing potential claims for families of children born with severe health problems or congenital malformations that may have been caused by the prescription of Zofran during pregnancy for morning sickness, nausea or vomiting.
Zofran’s only FDA-approved uses are for the treatment of cancer patients undergoing radiation or chemotherapy, but has been increasingly prescribed for an off-label use for the treatment of morning sickness in women who are pregnant. With concern mounting in the medical field regarding whether the drug is linked to birth defects, legal interest has also been raised.
As a result of the drug maker’s failure to warn about the potential pregnancy side effects of Zofran, many children may have experienced severe and potentially life-threatening birth defects and congenital malformations, including:
- Cleft Lip or Cleft Palate
- Congenital Heart Defect
- Wrongful Death
Financial compensation may be available through a Zofran Lawsuit as many of these severe health problems could have been avoided if GlaxoSmithKline had properly researched the pregnancy risks associated with the medication and warned about use of off-label Zofran for morning sickness.
