Some parents are considering filing a Depakote lawsuit since they believe that this drug may have led to the birth defects in their babies. There are a number of causes for birth defects; prescription medication being one of the causes. Along with Depakote, a number of other drugs like Topomax and Nexium are also under the scanner for suspected links with birth defects. Some mothers who were on this medication during their pregnancy have given birth to babies who were affected by birth defects like cleft palate, spina bifida, atrial septal defects, craniosynostosis or hypospadias. The treatment for some of these conditions could bankrupt a family and a few may not be fully curable. The decrease in the quality of life for their baby and the emotional suffering that the parents and other family members undergo is forcing parents to file a Depakote lawsuit that may offer the chance to obtain legal and financial compensation.
