Depakote Lawsuit

Causing Serious Birth Defects

We are investigating Depakote side effect infant victims nationwide who suffered a Depakote related side effect because the mother used Depakote during pregnancy.  Depakote, Depakene, Depacon, and Stavzor are treatments for Epilepsy.  They have been prescribed since 1983.  If you are an Epileptic and gave birth to a child with a birth defect, you may have a claim. Please email us today by completing the free, confidential case evaluation on the right.  You can also call us toll-free at 1-800-718-4658. Our Depakote team is ready to answer your questions.  We can provide resources for your child and fight your claims against the manufacturer. It is outrageous that your infant suffered a birth defect from Depakote.  Let us use our many decades of litigating pharmaceutical cases against drug manufacturers for you and your child.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has required Abbott Laboratories, the manufacturers of Depakote, to include a warning advising doctors and patients of certain serious life-threatening side effects, including birth defects caused by Depakote.

Due to the increased FDA Adverse Event reports of Depakote birth defects, the FDA issued a Public Notification on December 3, 2009, of the enhanced risk of significant birth defects in infants whose mothers used Depakote during pregnancy. Specific birth defects connected to Depakote are Neural Tube defects such as Spina Bifida, Cranial Facial Deficits, and Cardiovascular malformations.

Other medications similar to Depakote which also cause these side effects are Depakene, Depacon, and Stavzor.

Specific side effects in addition to Spina Bifida are: Atrial Septal Defect (hole in the heart),  Cleft Palete, hypospadias (enhanced urethra opening in boys), Polydactyl (extra fingers or toes), and (craniosynostosis (too many sutures in a baby's skull).

If you gave birth to a child with any of the above side effects or any congenital abnormality and took Depakote, Depakene, Depacon, or Stavzor during yourpregnancy, please contact our offices immediately. We have compiled the best possible national team of doctors, lawyers, nurses and paralegals to assist you.  You need to contact a Depakote lawyer at Nadrich & Cohen today.  You can either complete the confidential evaluation on the right or call us today at 1-800-718-4658.

We are taking Depakote cases on a contingency basis (which means you will never have to pay anything until we first obtain a recovery against the manufacturer) for birth defects such as the following:
