Vanderhyde and Associates Law Firm is helping women who have given birth to children with cleft lip and cleft palate birth defects. In March 2011, the Food and Drug Administration informed the medical community about an increased risk of children developing cleft palate or cleft lip when their mothers were taking a drug called Topamax. According to the FDA, new data suggests that expecting mothers taking the drug were almost 20 times more likely to have children born with cleft lips or cleft deformities. Topamax (topiramate) is a medication used to treat epilepsy and certain types of seizures.
