Depakote

Depakote Lawsuits

Corpus Christi Defective Drug Attorneys, Serving Nueces County & Beyond

Many consumers are unaware of the dangers they may be exposing themselves to when they take certain medications, largely because some drug companies fail to adequately warn the public about the side effects of their products. Without accurate information about drug side effect risks, patients and physicians are unable to make educated decisions about which medications are safe to take.

If you took the anticonvulsant Depakote while pregnant and your child was born with a serious birth defect, contact the Corpus Christi drug injury attorneys at Bandas Law Firm, P.C. to discuss your legal options. Your child may be entitled to lifetime care or financial compensation for his injuries, which you can collect by filing a Depakote lawsuit against the drug company.

Call (361) 238-2789 or submit an online contact form to get started with your no-cost consultation today. You won’t pay a dime unless we win your case.

Depakote Uses

Depakote, an extremely popular anticonvulsant drug manufactured by Abbott Laboratories, has been widely prescribed by physicians since it was approved by the FDA in 1983. Because Depakote has been indicated for a variety of conditions, including epilepsy, bipolar disorder, migraine headaches, and seizures, it is estimated that millions of consumers take the antiepileptic medication for treatment. In some cases, healthcare providers may even prescribe Depakote for off-label uses when they see fit, which means even more consumers may be at risk of suffering from potential Depakote side effects.

Depakote Side Effect & Birth Defects

Despite the fact that Depakote has become one of the most frequently prescribed anticonvulsant medications on the market, researchers and the FDA have drawn public attention to the potential dangers associated with taking Depakote, especially during pregnancy. According to an emerging body of research, women who take Depakote while pregnant may have a substantially increased risk of giving birth to children with major birth defects.

Among the birth defects potentially associated with Depakote are:

  • Heart defects
  • Cleft lip
  • Cleft palate
  • Neural tube birth defects
  • Spina bifida
  • Developmental delay
  • Autism
