Topamax® is a drug prescribed to treat epilepsy and migraines. On March 4, 2011, the FDA announced new data suggesting that babies born to women who took Topamax during their first trimester have an increased risk of birth defects. Birth defects associated with Topamax use include but are not limited to: A cleft lip or cleft palate occurs when the mouth fails to fully form, causing a split or gap in the roof of the mouth. These deformities may cause developmental issues and can lead to severe ear infections and problems with eating and talking. If your child was born with a birth defect and you took Topamax while pregnant, you may be entitled to compensation.
