Seasoned Depakote Birth Defect Attorneys

BCH: Built on Experience, Compassion, & Results

Depakote is a widely prescribed anticonvulsant, used to treat epileptic seizures and migraines. It is often given to expectant mothers, but multiple recent studies have linked Depakote to severe birth defects, including spina bifida and other neural tube defects. The FDA has officially approved the relabeling of Depakote to inform users of the potential side effects—but the drug’s active chemical (valproate) has been circulating since the 1960s. For many, the damage is already done.

The effects of Depakote include:

• Spina bifida
• Cleft palate
• Limb reduction
• Abnormal growth
• Mental impairment
• Congenital heart defect
