Topamax

Did you suffer Topax side effects? A lawyer in San Antonio may be able to help

Topamax (topiramate) is prescribed for people needing treatment for epilepsy and seizures. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a warning about the risk birth defects in children whose mothers took Topamax during pregnancy.

In some cases, women who took Topamax during their final trimester gave birth to babies who suffered the following birth defects:

  • Cleft lip
  • Cleft palate
  • Fetal and skeletal deformities
  • Genital defects

The FDA on March 4, 2011, reclassified the drug from a Pregnancy Category C to a Category D. This is a more serious change that was made after receiving information showing an increased risk of birth defects.
