Zofran Lawsuits for Fetal Birth Defects

A mother may be in the first trimester of her pregnancy. That is when the fetus starts to form, and develops major organs, such as the heart and brain.

It is vastly crucial, for this reason, that pregnant mothers are not in full exposure of substances during this period of time, which may inhibit any development and growth of the baby transported in the womb.

Zofran has been associated with congenital birth defects; this can include brain injury, when administered as medicine to help women sustaining critical types of morning sickness.

However, this failure of the manufacturer to adhere to the required methods necessary to for approval for its use during a mother’s pregnancy has been connected to catastrophic congenital birth defects, such as brain damage and other brain defects.

Zofran lawsuits for fetal birth defects can be pursued when it results in cases of brain injury during pregnancy.

Defects, as a result of using Zofran, can range in severity; many of them have resulted in health conditions which are treatable and minor. Meanwhile, others have caused severe injuries, which had an effect on the quality of living not only for children, but their loved ones.

Associated with the Zofran medication, these are among the most catastrophic birth defects; Zofran has also been associated with other conditions, such as megalencephaly and spina bifida, as well as disorders that are neurological, caused by diminished mental capacity or damage to the brain.
