Kelley/Uustal Now Accepting Zofran Birth Defect Cases

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., March 20, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Kelley/Uustal, a Florida-based law firm, announced that it is now accepting and investigating cases involving birth defects caused by Zofran.

Zofran (also known by its generic name, Ondansetron) is a medication initially developed and approved only to treat nausea in cancer patients. The drug was marketed for the unapproved use of treating morning sickness in pregnant women. According to researchers, women who take Zofran during the first trimester of pregnancy are 30% more likely to deliver a child with a birth defect.

Unfortunately, many women who took Zofran while pregnant did not receive adequate warning that the medication could be linked to these serious health concerns.

Birth defects linked to Zofran include fetal grown restriction, cleft lip, cleft palate, skull deformations, kidney malfunctions, and limb and heart defects.

About Zofran (Ondansetron)
Zofran's manufacturer introduced the medication into the U.S. market in 1991. Although the FDA did not officially approve Zofran for pregnant women, it gained momentum as a viable treatment option for morning sickness and nausea.

In 2013, doctors discovered a 200% increase in the number of heart-related birth defects in infants born to mothers who took Zofran during the first trimester of pregnancy.
