About Zofran

Zofran, sold by GlaxoSmithKline, is a widely used oral drug that has been developed for cancer patients that suffer from nausea. However, the drug is also widely distributed to pregnant women to prevent nausea and vomiting that result from morning sickness. The source of its anti-nausea capabilities is the drug's ability to block serotonin, a natural substance in the body that causes the nausea. The drug is administered during the first trimester of pregnancy when the fetus is still in its most crucial stage of development.

While Zofran has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration, it has not been cleared for use by pregnant women. GlaxoSmithKline's promotion of an off-label use of the drug has led the fetuses of expectant mothers to become prone to an "unreasonable risk of harm" of developing birth defects.

The most common Zofran birth defects that result from taking Zofran include:

• Cleft Lip
• Cleft Palate
• Club Foot
• Craniosynostosis
• Fetal Growth Restriction
• Heart Defects
• Heart Murmur
• Jaundice
• Kidney Defects
• Ventricular Septal Defects (holes in the heart)

This is not the first time that GlaxoSmithKline has come under heat and has been subject to a class action lawsuit for illegally promoting a certain drug. In 2012, the drug company was subject to the federal charges of the illegal promotion of a number of drugs and fraud. After pleading guilty, the company was forced to pay $3 million in damages for the harm caused by its illegal actions.
